I will have no more than 1 hour in Gmunden if I want to reach Hallstatt and then accomodate in Nussdorf am Attersee :)

Looks soooo Austrian: neat and clean. Funny story about people that come here because of the TV show - and the castle looks wonderful for the wedding ceremony.

I passed Gmunden more than once but it seems I should stay there for a visit the next time! Especially because there are another nice baroque house! Wonderful page!

Traunsee (lacus felix in Latin) is a great landscape but Gmunden is as much over-rated as Linz is under-rated. You are right, 4 hours are enough.
