Lake Traunsee

Nestled between towering mountains in the heart of the Salzkammergut, Lake Traunsee is one of Austria's deepest and most scenic alpine lakes. The charming lakeside town of Gmunden, famous for its ceramic traditions, sits at the northern shore while dramatic peaks reflect in the lake's pristine waters. Visitors can explore by historic steamboat or cable car to the summit of Traunstein mountain.
