Among the towns of Upper Austria, Obertraun stands out for its setting between Hallstätter See and the limestone heights of the Dachstein massif. On the lake’s eastern shore, it forms part of the Hallstatt-Dachstein/Salzkammergut Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage site shaped by Alpine settlement and the region’s long association with salt. The nearby Krippenstein area leads into high mountain terrain and the Dachstein caves, including the vast Mammoth Cave and the Dachstein Giant Ice Cave. Obertraun is a quieter counterpart to nearby Hallstatt, with lake paths, mountain railways and a strong connection to the surrounding Alps.
