Marienbrücke over the Traun

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge for pedestrians over the Traun is a simple construction made of steel and sways if a cyclist does not get off. A little adventurous.
From the bridge you can see the fish swimming in the clear water of the Traun.

Gmunden Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

Gmunden Town Hall, whose origins date back to 1574, is not only an architectural gem but also an important symbol of the city's history. Its expansion in 1676 gave the building additional charm and timeless character. Of particular note is the loggia, which has housed an impressive carillon made of Meissen porcelain since 1959. This work of art enriches the townscape and demonstrates the local connection to the artistic ceramics so typical of Gmunden. The green-flamed decoration of the carillon blends harmoniously with the historic atmosphere of the town hall and captivates both locals and tourists. The town hall is thus not just an administrative building, but a place where history comes alive and traditions are preserved.

Gmunden

Highlight • Settlement

The city is known, among other things, as the place of origin of Gmundner ceramics, as a renowned summer resort during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. u.k. Monarchy and as the setting for the television series Schlosshotel Orth, produced in the 1990s.

The original center of the city was the market square. When it lost its importance during the heyday of the salt trade, the town hall square developed into the city center (Wikipedia).

Wonderful place with a beautiful house facade and a view of the lake with its mountains. If you are there at the right time, you can also hear a chime.

Gmunden - Town Hall Square

Highlight • Settlement

On the beautiful northern shore of Lake Traunsee lies Gmunden, a lively spa town that attracts many visitors every year, not least because of its southern charm. A stroll through the charming alleys is worthwhile, and not only for those interested in culture.

Against the impressive backdrop of Traunstein, Grünberg, Lake Traunsee, and the old town hall, the over four-meter-high giant now stands, engaged in a silent dialogue with its smaller counterpart above the fountain in the town hall square. I saw it myself and can only say it's a sight that truly takes your breath away!

The large figure with the xylophone on its back symbolizes the creative, productive side of humanity. It's fascinating to see someone translating their thoughts into music! And then we have its counterpart, the smaller figure with the Lego brick, representing the analytical, structuring side. It's like a conversation between two important aspects of our lives, and it's fun to reflect on.

The artwork, created by Finnish ceramic artist Kim Simonsson, belongs to his fantastic Moss People series. These moss-green beings seem to have sprung from a dream and remind us that nature once reclaimed the world. La Communication was created in 2022 and can now be admired permanently in Gmunden as part of the European Capital of Culture 2024. From here, you have a fantastic view across the Traunsee landscape to the K-Hof Museum. If you're ever in the area, be sure to check it out – it's well worth it!
