Gmunden - The main square in Gmunden

The main square in Gmunden

The town of Gmunden (population 12,000) is know for its castles and ceramincs. It was established in 909 and received a town charter in 1278. Gmunden was a former administration center for both the Habsburg monarchy and the salt trade. It is no wonder why this town, lying on the picture-postcard setting on the northern shore of Traunsee is known not only for it's history, romantic setting and ceramics, but also for it's traditional cures (salt-water baths).

Gmunden is a typical Austrian summer resort. Architecturally, it also has much to offer with it's Renaissance-era Town Hall with it's porcelain-tiled glockenspiel, as well as a number of fine townhouses and numerous castles. The town has much to offer the visitor and all are encouraged to visit.

globerover Tue Jul 12, 2005 17:35 UTC it is maybe a mistake to eat a pizza in Gmunden, but a journey on the Gisela is definitively a big nostalgic experience ... and I can only confirm what you said about sailing on the Traunsee (I did it several years ago) ...	globetrott Sat Jan 8, 2005 21:11 UTC Great infos and wonderful pics, and great updates again, Drew !!
