How To Get Around In Gmunden
On foot
A charming tiny town, Gmunden is ideal for walking tours. Along the lakefront, you may wander slowly, see sights like the town hall, the ceramic museum, and the other nearby churches and monuments. You may also choose to trek slowly to the neighboring mountains, including Traunstein or Grünberg, to fully appreciate the breath-taking sweeping vistas. Apart from that, the Gmunden Tourism website provides a town map and some suggested walking paths.
By bike
Bicycling is another way to get around Gmunden. Bike rentals in town come in two varieties. Either use the Nextbike service or stop by one of the neighbourhood stores. Using Nextbike allows you to conveniently check out and return bikes at several locations around the area. Cycling along the stunning lakeshore, touring the nearby quaint villages, or riding the Salzkammergut Cycle Path are all possibilities. This route passes via Gmunden and gives access to a number of other local sites.
