Traunkirchen

Lake Traunsee defines the setting of Traunkirchen — its narrow lakeside strip and steep wooded slopes concentrate homes, roads and everyday life along the western shore. This Salzkammergut community looks across the water toward Traunstein, the prominent limestone mountain at the lake’s northern end. Traunkirchen’s former Benedictine abbey, founded in the early 11th century, anchors its historic centre; the parish church preserves the renowned Fisherman’s Pulpit, fashioned in the form of a fishing boat. Boats, lakeside paths and summer bathing keep the settlement closely connected to the lake. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Upper Austria’s Salzkammergut.
