Salzkammergut Lake District 1,380 ft
Pearl of the Salzkammergut Lake District
Inspiring poets with its scenic beauty,
Lake Traunsee incorporates the pretty
lakeside locations of Traunkirchen
and Altmünster (just 4½ miles apart)
in the heart of the Salzkammergut region.
Both villages adorn the western shore
of this tranquil and unspoilt lake
which is 4½ miles long and, at its
widest point, 1½ miles. Traunkirchen
juts out into the lake like a small
island and is dominated by an attractive
11th century church. Neighbouring Altmünster
presents a cosy lakeside village atmosphere
and houses a fascinating bicycle museum
and wildlife park. Both resorts provide all kinds of water sports, cycling trails, lakeside beaches and are ideal bases for walks up into the forests and hills. Places of interest include Salzburg, Bad Ischl and nearby Gmunden.
