Fuschl am See, Rural municipality in Salzburg-Umgebung District, Austria.
Fuschl am See is a rural municipality at the eastern shore of Lake Fuschl, positioned at about 669 meters elevation and surrounded by forested mountains in the Salzkammergut region. The landscape is defined by the lake and densely wooded slopes that make up the wider area.
The earliest written record of the Fuschl region dates to 790, when it belonged to the estates controlled by the Salzburg diocese under Bishop Arno. This ownership shaped the area's development for centuries to follow.
The municipality reflects Alpine heritage through local celebrations and building styles that people recognize as typical of the Salzburg region. Residents shape daily life through their connection to the landscape and inherited traditions passed down through generations.
Highway B158 connects the village directly to Salzburg city and Bad Ischl, making it easily accessible for the roughly 1,659 residents and visiting travelers. The lakeside location works well as a base for exploring the surrounding region or spending time in the area.
Red Bull GmbH built its global headquarters in this small Alpine village, turning it into an unexpected business hub. The company's presence brought international influence to this otherwise quiet rural setting.
