Laudachsee, Upper Austria, Austria
4.5 (75 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Gmunden Bodies of Water
Relaxed and great little hike
The hiking trail to Laudachsee isn't too hard and can be done by most people. The situation with paying at the parking was a bit confusing. Most annoyingly we paid gor a ticket we probably didn't need but the ticket automat malfunctioned and didn't give us the ticket. But the destination is worth it, it's a beautiful mountain lake and was already warm enough for swimming in May; but you should be fine with "refreshing" water temperatures. Only minus is that usually quite a lot of people go there, it's definitely not a secret spot.

Nice family walk, great view!
From Gmunden it's an easy 10 min ride on the recently renovated Grünberg-Seilbahn to get to Grünberg. There you have a restaurant, a summer rodelbahn, the Baumwipfelpfad and the start of multiple walks. We had a 4-year old child with us, so we were looking for something more than the 1.4 km Baumwipfelpfad walk but also not too challenging. The 4km / 1h walk to Laudachsee was perfect. This is a nice forest walk, with some spectacular views over the Traunsee. Although the walk goes up and down, it's never too challenging. As reward, you can enjoy the view over Laudachsee and the surrounding mountains, with a beer and some local food at Ramsaualm. You can also walk around the lake, but we just went down to touch the water and then went back (which is the same route).
