Gmunden District, Administrative district in Upper Austria, Austria.
Gmunden District spreads across about 1,400 square kilometers in Upper Austria, containing twenty municipalities with Gmunden as the administrative center. The area stretches between Alpine peaks and lakes, linking rural villages with towns like Hallstatt.
The district administration system was set up in 1849 during the Habsburg period and has kept its basic structure through many political changes. This long history shapes how the region operates today.
The towns and villages here keep local traditions alive through festivals and markets that blend Austrian customs with Salzkammergut heritage. You can experience this culture when you visit during celebrations where communities gather and share their way of life.
If you need official documents or administrative help, the district office in Gmunden is the main place to go. Weekday visits work best when all services are open and staff are available.
The area holds Lake Hallstatt and multiple historical salt mining sites that still show traces of their past. This mix of mining history and Alpine scenery makes the region special for anyone curious about old craft traditions.
