We made a boat trip from Gmunden to Traunkirchen and could admire this unique place during hours. The Traunstein is impressive and the (after COVID-lockdown) very quiet lake was highly appreciated.

Visited in October 2019. The path has recently reopened having had some restoration work. The start of the walk recommends having some climbing equipment. This might be relevant in poor weather i.e. ice/snow. Otherwise walking shoes and boots will suffice. It's a steady exciting walk (with some challenging parts if you haven't climbed before) with a bit of climbing and hanging on so as not to fall in the lake (the drop varies from 0 to 60 feet. Only suitable with children if well supervised. If you fall, it could be onto sharp rocks or into the lake (this part of the lake is very dangerous due to the underwater current). Great fun and fabulous views across the lake.

This lake is very nice and can be reached quite easily with a short walk (or hike). The lake is nicely nestled into the mountains surrounding it. Can get quite busy.

The treetop walk was recommended by a friend. The tour started with the grünberg cable car. On the mountain station there was a very nice restaurant. Lunch was very moody in the old mountain hut because great rain began to come down. Although there was dense fog we enjoyed the treetop walk very much.
