Gmunden, Lake town in Upper Austria, Austria
Gmunden sits at the northern edge of Lake Traunsee, where the Traun River flows into the water at an elevation of 425 meters.
The settlement traces back to 1000 BCE when Illyrians mined salt, and in 1278 the location received official recognition as a town.
The Baroque parish church, built upon foundations from the 13th century and consecrated in 1723, stands as a central religious monument.
The town maintains four kindergartens, four elementary schools, three Hauptschulen, and multiple high educational institutions including BG/BRG Gmunden.
The Gisela paddle steamer, operating since 1871, continues to transport passengers across Lake Traunsee throughout the year.
