Gmundnerberg

Gmundnerberg is a mountain summit within the Traun- and Atterseer Flysch mountains that rises 884 meters above sea level. From the top, hikers see views across the Traunsee Lake region and the surrounding terrain.

For centuries, this mountain served as a key connection between communities across Upper Austria, linking different settlements together. The pathways developed over time into important local routes that facilitated movement between valleys.

Local people regularly hike this mountain for recreation, especially on weekends when families and groups gather to spend time outdoors. The summit is woven into the community's leisure culture and connects residents to their surrounding landscape.

Several marked trails start from Altmünster village with the main route taking around two hours to reach the summit. Choose your path based on fitness level and available time, as routes of varying difficulty are available.

The mountain displays distinct climate zones at different elevations, creating a wide variety of plant species across a short distance. This natural variation makes each stage of the hike interesting, as the vegetation changes noticeably along the way.
