Gmunden, at the foot of the Alps, is home to the Traunsee lake and Traun River. Its coat of arms, dating back to 1593, features salt, transport, fishing, nature, and mountains. The deep Traunsee is perfect for water sports and hiking. Gmunden has a fascinating history, evolving from early fishermen, medieval fortifications, and 17th-century Bavarian struggles to become a resort town. It’s known for Gmundner Keramik ceramics, Cumberland and Weyer Castles, the Parochial Church, the Sanitary Museum Klo & So, the steamer Gisela, and the Gmunden Tramway.
