A breathtaking natural backdrop meets a charming historic city center: life in Gmunden is pulsing again in every alley. Let yourself be enchanted by the unique city on the water - and with a little luck win Gmundner shopping vouchers worth 50, 100 or 150 euros!
Gmunden has many facets - and each one is worth a trip in and of itself. The city located directly on the Traunsee not only inspires with its breathtakingly beautiful natural scenery, but also invites you to explore the enchanting historic city center. A unique mix of the past, tradition and the "seething" of many new ideas and inspirations gives Gmunden its special charm. The demanding culture of the Salzkammergut Festival Weeks can be discovered here as well as small, fine ceramic workshops, special art galleries and local businesses with an exclusive, unique offer.
Time and again you come across something extraordinary while strolling through Gmunden. A real rarity is the ceramic carillon in the town hall, which was made from Meissen porcelain and decorated with the famous Gmundner decor. The paddle steamer "Gisela" - one of the oldest steamers in the world, which celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2021 - is also a popular sight. The “floating landmark of the city” can be experienced up close on unforgettable trips on the Traunsee. Another visitor magnet is also located on the water: The Seeschloss Ort is one of the oldest buildings in the Salzkammergut and achieved international fame as the setting for the German-Austrian television series “Schlosshotel Orth”. Today the picturesque building is available to the public as a museum and event location, around 350 couples get married here every year.
When on holiday in the region, you shouldn't miss a visit to the treetop path on Grünberg: With a total length of 1,400 meters and a height of up to 21 meters, this “highlight” meanders through the mixed mountain forest, past numerous educational and adventure stations. Sports fans also get their money's worth in and around Gmunden - home of the Austrian basketball champions 2020/2021 Swans Gmunden.
