Austria’s deepest lake offers ideal conditions for sports enthusiasts. Thanks to the strong winds, wakeboarders, sailors, and surfers feel right at home here; numerous freely accessible beaches invite visitors to swim, and divers also find excellent conditions here. For those who prefer the mountains, the Feuerkogel Cable Car in Ebensee takes you directly to the famous Höllengebirge. At the upper end of Lake Traunsee lies the famous ceramics town of Gmunden; magnificent castles and ancient monasteries in the surrounding area—such as Ort Lake Castle—bear witness to the eventful history of Lake Traunsee. A ride on the historic paddle steamer from 1871 is the perfect way to truly enjoy the breathtaking mountain panorama.Was your gear in another lake yesterday? Our guests let it dry for another day—thank you for that! Quagga mussels and crayfish plague travel with us unseen—in fin boxes, valves, shoes, and diving gear. Once introduced, they stay forever—sharp-edged mussel shells on the lake bottom included. Here’s how you can protect our lakes: 1. Drain all water completely 2. Clean your gear 3. Dry everything completely—before switching lakes No time to dry? Disinfect with peracetic acid or use a rental service right by the lake. Thank you for helping out!
