Schloss Ort is a hidden gem in Austria, nestled on a small island in the Traunsee Lake. The castle is charming, with its picturesque setting and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Exploring the castle’s rooms and learning about its history is fascinating—each corner tells a story. The serene atmosphere makes it perfect for a peaceful stroll or a picnic by the water. A must-visit if you’re in the area, especially on a sunny day!

A magnificent site in the Salzkammergut. Definitely worth the trip from Salzburg, not only for the castle itself, but also for the relaxing view of the lake. You can spend a few hours here, walking the trails and stopping at several viewpoints along the lakeshore. Convenient and affordable parking is available nearby. Highly recommended! Take a look at the photos.

Romantic arquitecture at its best. Clear waters. Lovely restaurant on a patio directly at the lake. Free bathroom visits for the restaurant guests. Let your dreams flow and lose yourself in gazing at the majestic mountains. Ah, SO relaxing...

The castle is very nice and well maintained, but there isn't much to see. Also, there are no English translations available.

Visiting Schloss Ort was such a lovely experience. The castle sits beautifully on the lake, and walking around the grounds and across the bridge was very peaceful. The views are picturesque, and it’s a great place to relax and take some memorable photos.

Nothing new I can say about this castle that hasn't already been said. Its a very normal looking Austrian castle but what makes it unique is its location. Its sitting on the traunsee lake in a small island that just fits the castle with a small path you can take around it and get a good look at both the lake and gmunden.

Very small little castle in the middle of the deepest lake in Austria. Popular wedding spots for those looking to tie their knot!

Beautiful lake with a castle in a small island connecting to the lake. A lot of view points around the lake.

Ilove Trauensee one of the best lake 😄 the water for me was okay 👍 and im glad that my back pain is gone because of the water 💦 🫨 good water 🩷 Highly recommended ⛰️ love the nature also.

Gmunden is very beautiful and the lake is also wonderful, which is the deepest lake in Austria. You can walk around the lake, listen to the ringing of bells in the main square, shop at the farmers' market, and have coffee with the locals in the coastal restaurants. Parking is paid on weekdays, but with some walking (on a steep road), you can park for free on the "hill".

Lake Traunsee is one of Austria's best-kept secrets. Tucked away in the beautiful Salzkammergut region, this lake is the deepest in Austria, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and lush, green mountains.

Great place to relax with great views ...wow

Definitely one of the top prettiest lakes I have visited. The water is so clear and the surroundings (mountains, trees, old buildings) are so beautiful. Lots of hiking options around

2023/09/29_1st visiting. So beautiful views and super nice weather.

Awesome lake at the top (of where you can walk, not ferrata). After half a day of hiking, the swim here was amazing, clean (as a lake in nature can be) and the water temperature was just right to cool off.

Super

(Translated by Google) This is a wonderful place to visit. Highly recommended, and also suitable for children. You can swim in the lake. (Original) Herrlich dieser Ausflugsort. Zum weiterempfehlen, auch für Kinder geeignet. Am See darf man baden gehen.

(Translated by Google) We hiked from the cable car station to Lake Laudach. The trail is well-marked and pleasant to walk. The lake is beautifully nestled in nature and offers fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. A truly worthwhile destination! (Original) Wir sind von der Seilbahnstation zum Laudachsee gewandert. Der Weg ist gut ausgeschildert und angenehm zu gehen. Der See liegt wunderschön eingebettet in die Natur und bietet einen tollen Blick auf die umliegenden Berge. Ein wirklich lohnendes Ausflugsziel!

(Translated by Google) Top excursion destination Whether by bike or on foot, it's wonderful. Best not on weekends, as there are too many people out and about! Drop off to the lake. Swimming is permitted. (Original) Top Ausflugziel Ob mit Rad oder Zufuss ist wunderbar Besser nicht am Wochende da zuvoele unterwegs sind! Ab ihn den See.Baden erlaubt.

(Translated by Google) A very nice walk, even easy to do with a stroller. The spot right by the lake is truly idyllic and invites you to linger. Unfortunately, it's often very crowded, and the parking fee is quite expensive. (Original) Sehr schöne Runde, auch mit Kinderwagen gut machbar. Der Platz direkt beim See ist wirklich idyllisch und lädt zum Verweilen ein. Leider ist es oft sehr überlaufen und die Parkgebühr fällt recht teuer aus.

We just did a stop on our long way from anif to Vienna. A nice and beautiful old square, a lot of restaurants near the lake, easy parking.

Personally I think as a town hall this building works wonderfully. Its very unique compared to all around it. It has a very nice color to it and the fact that the clocks rings and plays songs sometimes makes everything around it quite wonderful

Very beautiful town hall building with a nice chimes. One of the most beautiful spots in Gmunden.

Very nice building, the bells rings a nice song once a while and the square bellow is the main city square, hosting nice markets

Gmunden is a happy place. Breathtaking scenery by the lake with the mountain tops not always visible, so high.

Very nice spot to admire the lake and the mountains all arround. The old part of the town worths a sort walk. The are nice shops and coffee places. Close to the bridge there is a very interesting museum of ceramics and ...toilets from the past. Don't miss it.

Lovely space, lots of restaurants nearby and easy to get to by the tram.

🌟 Absolutely fantastic dining experience! 🌟 We visited this restaurant during our trip to Austria and were truly blown away. Probably the best pasta we’ve ever had – full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I had fish, but it was also absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, and our waitress was incredibly sweet and attentive – she made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and warm hospitality. Would definitely come back! ❤️

Very good food. Excellent service

We had a super evening in this restaurant with a great location enjoying a beautiful view of the river, lake and Rastplatz. Attentive staff, gorgeous presentation delicious plates and great desert. A bit salty the fish and the polenta - but this is a matter of taste. Pricy!

Had lunch here with the family. They were able to accommodate all 8 of us with no notice on a weekday so we appreciated that. Food quality was high and very good. Pricing was also very good.

Really nice cuisine and very attentive hosts! To be recommended! Just book in advance as a spot at the restaurant is very much in demand.

Such a lovely wee place. Smiling and polite ladies serving truly delectable food. If I'm ever in the region again, it'd be a delight to come back.

Nice place next to lake. Good meal on lunch menu. Sympathetic staff. Recommended.

Molded apple strudel. Coffee was ok, but I don't recommend to eat here.

Just as expected, the restaurant benefits from its location thats all the good to say about it, personnel was quite bad they take quite a lot of time to bring the food and they brought soups after the main dish which is definitely bad thing, plus they had almost no knowledge of english language but i cant blame them, the food had no taste at all the fish and meat was nicely prepared but still it does not change the fact it was tasteless just like the potatoes and salat

Food is not good. It's supermarket frozen stuff that they cook/warm up/fry and serve. Basically, any student can do the stuff they do. Nothing special. Service was good, the young guy who worked there was polite and friendly. Atmosphere is alright. Depends on the day I guess.

Coffee tastes like from automatic machine

(Translated by Google) On May 24th, we had the pleasure and joy of celebrating the civil wedding of our son Fabian and his wife Christina at Orth Castle and the Orther Stubn. It was an unforgettable afternoon that we spent there. A beautiful registry office by the lake, and the agape reception with such attentive service on the lakeside terrace was simply something special! Many, many thanks to EVERYONE at the Orther Stubn – it was a wedding we will always remember! (Original) Am 24.5. hatten wir das Vergnügen und die Freude die standesamtliche Trauung unseres Sohnes Fabian mit seiner Christina im Schloß Orth und der Orther Stubn zu feiern. Es war ein unvergeßlicher Nachmittag den wir dort verbrachten. Ein wunderschönes Standesamt am See und die Agape mit einem derartig zuvorkommenden Service auf der Seeterrasse war einfach etwas vom Feinsten! Vielen, vielen herzlichen Dank an ALLE in der Orther Stubn – es war eine Hochzeit die uns immer in Erinnerung bleiben wird!

(Translated by Google) The food (fresh chanterelle mushrooms in cream sauce with napkin dumplings, curd dumplings with buttered breadcrumbs) was a poem – kudos to the kitchen. We had a perfect time in a beautiful place. Thank you 😍 (Original) Das Essen (frische Eierschwammerl in Rahmsauce mit Serviettenknödel, Topfennockerl mit Butterbrösel) war ein Gedicht - ein großes Lob an die Küche. Wir verbrachten eine perfekte Zeit an einem wunderschönen Ort. Dankeschön 😍

(Translated by Google) I've been here twice, and this place is a huge disappointment. The first time, the waiter (thin, tall) insulted me when I said I wanted to pay by card. "Why don't you have cash?! Now I have to go back and get an ATM or something???" Absolutely outrageous! On the second visit, we arrived between 4:40 and 4:45 p.m., and after five minutes of being ignored, I asked if we could order. The waitress told us they wouldn't serve us anymore because they were closing?! I said I didn't want anything to eat, just two beers, and then I asked if it said online that they were open until 6 p.m. Meanwhile, the same waiter (who insulted me at first) came back and said they had to clean up the entire castle and close it down, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do it... By the way: Less than two minutes later, the group of waiters were already on the bridge on their way home. This place—like all of Tuscany—has enormous untapped potential. More and more people are coming here, but the only way to enjoy this incredible view and beautiful surroundings with a good glass of wine or a meal is completely ruined by disastrous service. I don't know if the waiters are just doing this part-time or if there's simply no supervision here—but honestly, if I had staff like that, I'd prefer to switch to self-service. What a shame! (Original) Ich war zweimal hier und dieses Lokal ist eine einzige große Enttäuschung. Beim ersten Mal hat mich der Kellner (dünn, größer) beim Bezahlen beschimpft, als ich sagte, dass ich mit Karte zahlen möchte. "Warum hast du kein Bargeld dabei?! jetzt muss ich wieder zurück und Bankomat holen oder was???" Absolute Frechheit! Beim zweiten Besuch wir kamen um 16:40-16:45 und nach 5min ignorieren habe ich gefragt ob wir bestellen dürfen..die Kellnerin hat uns gesagt, dass wir nicht mehr bedient werden, weil sie schließen?! ich habe gesagt ich möchte nichts essen nur 2 Bier bestellen und dann fragte ich im Internet steht, dass bis 18Uhr geöffnet ist. inzwischen kam wieder derselbe Kellner (der mich erstmal beschimpft hat) und meinte, sie müssten das ganzen Schloss aufräumen und schließen, das würden sie sonst nicht mehr schaffen … Übrigens: Keine zwei Minuten später waren die Kellnergruppe schon auf der Brücke auf dem Weg nach Hause. Dieser Ort – wie auch die ganze Toskana – hat ein riesiges ungenutztes Potenzial. Immer mehr Menschen kommen hierher, aber die einzige Möglichkeit, diesen unglaublichen Ausblick und die wunderschöne Umgebung bei einem guten Glas Wein oder einem Essen zu genießen, wird durch katastrophalen Service völlig ruiniert. Ich weiß nicht, ob die Kellner diesen Job nur nebenbei machen oder ob es hier einfach keinerlei Aufsicht gibt – aber ehrlich gesagt: Wenn ich solches Personal hätte, würde ich lieber auf Selbstbedienung umstellen. Sehr schade!

Great atmosphere! The venison was delicious. I really liked the interior. The prices were average. Unfortunately, the waiter forgot about our order, and we had to wait a bit too long. But overall, it’s a really great place! Worth a visit

Everything about this place was excellent The food is Traditional Austrian food made to excellent. The place have the coolest vibe and our server was very attentive and friendly. The only downside was that there were no English menus so if you come bring Google Translate with you, and you can always ask the waitress for help.

I don't know who we had the pleasure of talking to, whether it was the waiter or the owner. But I recommend reading at least a small book on how to communicate with restaurant guests. Of course to do this, you need to stop drinking wine while working. Maybe this would help I do not recommend visiting this place

This is the place to eat. The entire experience was what we were looking for. We are from the US and only speak English. The owner, waitress and chef were extremely welcoming. Loved the atmosphere feel of the restaurant. The food is like traditional Austrian with culinarily chef touch. Easily the best dinner we had during our stay in Gmunden.

You have to book a table by phone, otherwise you might not get one. We sat outside with a lovely view of Traunsee. The service was friendly and spoke English quite well. The only disappointment was the “Wiener Schnitzel vom Schwein.” I was looking for a restaurant that serves the traditional Wiener Schnitzel made from veal. Instead, we ordered the “Gekochtes Schulterscherzl” and the “Fleischknödel mit Sauerkraut und Bratensaft” – both dishes were excellent.

A small and cozy place. Felt we found a local gem. We ordered two dishes which were very tasty. The service was great and inviting... we had a great time!

After a long search for local cuisine, we chose this one. The menus are only in German, the menu was not wide, I would have expected more traditional Austrian dishes. The first day we had some lamb meatballs with kohlrabi in cream and potatoes. The portion isn't large, the side dishes are small for our taste, but we had enough and enjoyed it. On the second day, we had their classic schnitzel, it was delicious, smelling beautifully of butter. One portion costs on average up to 20 euros per person. No reservation is needed, they always found a place for us, the service was nice.

We ordered Schnitzel, asparagus soup and thai curry. The food was good especially the asparagus soup. The thai curry was more like a lentil curry. But it was good.

The view is very nice, however, the food was mixed. The Schweinsbraten was good but schnitzel was average. The staff were twice fairly snappy with me which took a bit of shine off the experience.

The place offers nice Austrian food, and requires you to go in and order and pay at the bar. That worked well and efficiently, and your food is brought to your table by very friendly staff. The place offers excellent views and we relaxed there after a walk and stayed a couple of hours. Definitely worth a visit!

Nice Austrian /German food with great views.

Food was quite good, although the parsley potato could be made of a better kind (was a bit bitter). Service is really bad, one of the worst I have seen in Europe. You have to wait in a queue for a LONG time. They could use a mobile app to allow people order from their table.

Nice place to have meal with great view. By mistake we ordered nov vegetarian food but the staff were so nice they changed it for free.

Great view with a funny summer toboggan run.

A bit of a disappointment - service was very slow (it took an hour to prepare 3 salads, a toasted sandwich and some basic pasta) although they did offer us a couple of free coffees to apologise, which was appreciated. The food was decent but pretty basic for price.

Nice ambient. U wait 15min and nobody comes. Then u go inside and the waiter is telling u “I be ready in a few mins” and u wait another 5min. Serious? Then u get told there is no more breakfast available at 11 and u have to wait until 11:30 to get food. What a waste of time

Delicious meals, good and healthy ingredients, fast service and adequate prices. Highly recommend.

Das Forst is a cafe with a small, excellent daily lunch menu as well as a selection of other dishes, including sausages, gulasch, and salads. Particular strengths are the daily soup selections and vegetarian fare. The coffee is also the best I've had in Gmunden, the perfect complement to the homemade desserts. If it is in season, I strongly recommend the Chocolate-Apricot-Quark torte!

Fantastic menu, great lunch, amazing service 👌👍 and the restaurant design is also extraordinary 😍

Ok

(Translated by Google) 4.8 ⭐️A super nice and good restaurant with prices that match the quality. Is it somehow part of Raika Gmunden?! The lunch menu always offers two dishes to choose from. Usually one is vegetarian. Very tasty! There's also a small outdoor garden. Parking is available right behind the Haus Salzkammergut. I'll stop by again when I'm in Gmunden again! (Original) 4,8 ⭐️Ein super nettes und gutes Lokal mit passenden Preisen zur Qualität. Gehört irgendwie zur Raika Gmunden?! Mittagsmenü gibts immer 2 Gerichte zur Auswahl. Meist eins vegitarisch. Ear sehr lecker! Es gibt auch einen kleinen Gastgarten im Aussenbereich. Auch Parkplatz ist gleich hinter dem Haus Salzkammergut verfügbar. Wenn ich wieder mal in Gmunden bin, schau ich wieder vorbei!
