- 🇦🇹 Gmunden is one of the most charming towns in Austria. Famous for its historic lake castle Schloss Ort on an island on lake Traunsee, it's surely one of the best travel ideas for Europe in 2021. In this Austria travel vlog I'm taking you on a travel walking tour through historic Gmunden and to the lake castle, one of the oldest buildings in the whole Salzkammergut. If you are looking for ideas of where to go in Austria and what to see in Austria, Gmunden is one of the best places in Austria for the best summer trip you can have during your Europe travel in 2021.
The Salzkammergut (or Salzburger Land) is a particularly attractive region to visit in Austria. So plan to do a travel walking tour in the most beautiful village in Austria, or hike the Alpine mountains, or swim in beautiful lakes during your next Austria vacation ('Österreich Urlaub' in German). There are so many things to do in Salzburg and the surrounding Salzkammergut region that you don't want to miss.
In today’s Austria travel vlog I’m going on a travel walking tour through Gmunden which will take me to the beautiful old town with its picturesque pedestrian zone, the walkway along the lakeshore and of course the beautiful Schloss Ort, an historic lake castle situated on a small island which is only connected to the town by a wooden pedestrian bridge.
Gmunden is a 45 minute drive to the east of Salzburg and about 1 hour drive away north from Hallstatt. Should you plan to drive from Vienna to Hallstatt, or vice versa, Gmunden is on the way. If you plan a longer Austria vacation or just a day trip in the Salzburg Land, the Salzkammergut, add Gmunden to your list of travel destinations in Austria.
The town has existed in some form since the 1100’s and has served as an important military base in past centuries. During the 17th century, Battleships were constructed in Gmunden. Today, Gmunden is perhaps most famous for the Gmundner porcelain, the historic primarily white and green colored Gmunden ceramic porcelain that you can find everywhere now. But Gmunden is of course the best place in Austria to get it. You can even visit the porcelain manufacturing site but I didn’t have the time during my visit.
I’m starting my walk in the old town of Gmunden with it’s many beautifully painted and decorated houses, shops and fountains. Just across the main road and bordering the lake, you will find the main town square. The day I was there, an Italian themed market offered numerous delicious snacks. Several nice cafes and restaurants have terraces from where you have great views onto the lake.
The final destination of my walking tour is the lake castle Seeschloss Ort which is only a 20 minute walk way from the town center. It’s a beautiful walk along the lake shore and you will have a great view of the castle all along the way.
Please also check out my other videos on my travel to Austria, including my trip to Salzburg and the surrounding mountains and valleys of the Salzkammergut such as Hallstatt, Bad Ischl, Gosau, St. Wolfgang, St. Gilgen, Gmunden, Zell am See and of course my trip to Vienna - and so much more.

@@januslog I visited Austria 3 times. Every time I stayed near by the lake at Obertraun, Hallstätter See, Weissensee, Carinthia and St. Wolfgang, Wolfgangsee respectively.
Next time I intend to stay at Pertisau, Lake Achensee. Do you have any information or suggestion?

What a lovely lakeside town! Thanks for sharing it. Looks like you can get good pretzels there too :). It would be nice to eat one by the lake or at the castle. The white swans are such beautiful birds. Nature is amazing - our swans in Australia are black!

@@januslog Just knew that there was a disaster (flooding) in western Europe and many people were killed. Hope everything will recover very doon. Stay safe.
@@kayanviola5 yes, I read about the floods in Germany in the news. Such a horrific disaster!My thoughts are with those who were suffering from this terrible incident.
😍
Thank you for watching Maria 🌼🌺🌻
Gmunden is the gate to the Salzkammergut, which is the name of the region south of it, with many lakes, picturesque towns (incl Hallstatt) and mountains where the three big Salt mines were dominating the life in the past.. Back then actually Gmunden was the gate from Salzkammergut into the world, as Salt was registered there for trading and shipped on the horse rail carriage.
And here he is, with another amazing and relaxed video!!!
Thanks 😃😃😃
Thank you very much Gert! Have an amazing week ahead 👍
yes - luvin' this town, too! yet ANOTHER place to go enjoy. So many things to do in such a beautiful town.
I agree, Gmunden is a lovely town and definitely worth visiting when going to the Salzkammergut. The views across lake Traunsee are amazing 👍😊
Beautiful! Mountains and lakes are a bit like Queenstown in New Zealand.
I’ve never been to NZ but it’s definitely on my list of travel destinations I’d love to see 🌸
@@januslog Highly recommend Queenstown, the most beautiful town in New Zealand. ：）
@@jennifer4439 thank you, I hope I get to go once traveling becomes easier again 👍🌸

Guten tag Janus..this Gmuden town reminds me of Chur, Suisse similarity. Those yellow coloured building is pretty. It's nice to sit facing the lake. Definitely a visit.
Vielen dank. 👏👍👌🙏
Thank you for watching again Nerve. I hope I get to do a video on Chur someday too
@@januslog Maybe you could try St Moritz too. The landscape is beautiful and big lake. Thanks to you too
@@nervenavar2649 Yes, that’s a great idea and definitely a beautiful place to capture. I’ll put it on my list for my next Switzerland trip 👍🇨🇭😊
Janu you don't think Austria has more beautiful lake towns than Switzerland.
Ha, might be a tough competition between those two countries. Both are so amazing!
Is it easy to find halal food in Austria?
Yes, it’s not too difficult, although you usually won’t find it in the normal Austrian restaurants
