Hotels in Traunviertel, Austria
Traunviertel is a region in Upper Austria, nestled between the Dachstein mountains and the Traun River, famous for its salt mines and crystal-clear Lake Traunsee. The climate brings warm summers (around 25°C/77°F) perfect for swimming in the lake or hiking up the Traunstein peak, and cold winters (averaging -5°C/23°F) when you can ice skate on the frozen lake or visit the historic Schloss Ort castle on its island. In spring, explore the salt mines in Ebensee to see how the region's wealth was built, while autumn offers fewer crowds and colorful forest walks along the river.
