Traunstein

Traunstein is best known in Bavaria for its historic saltworks, which processed brine brought from Bad Reichenhall. The town stands on the Traun River in the Chiemgau region, in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps and near Lake Chiemsee. Salt shaped its early modern development: the Reichenhall–Traunstein brine pipeline entered service in 1619, and the local works remained important to the town for centuries. Tradition still takes centre stage during the annual Georgiritt, a mounted procession held on Easter Monday.
