Full description

This full-day trip takes you from Vienna into the lake country of Upper Austria. With a guide, you’ll cross the wooden footbridge to Schloss Ort, an island castle on the Traunsee, and hear about its long history and its role as a TV location.

You’ll also have time in the lakeside town of Gmunden, known for its ceramics and promenade, with the Traunstein mountain rising across the water. Expect several hours on the road, rewarded with some of Austria’s classic lake scenery.
