Tips from the Community
Schloss Kammer is a moated castle in Schörfling am Attersee (Hauptstraße 28) in Upper Austria. The alternative, obsolete name Kammersee for the lake refers to this castle and thus to the Salzkammergut. The castle, which today lies on a peninsula, originally on an island (with a jetty to the mainland) in the northern Attersee, is a massive, rectangular, three-story building with two low side wings enclosing a courtyard.

It's very easy to walk or cycle. It's definitely worth it afterward. 😍 You don't really need to bring much gear. Perfect for a short evening trip. 💞🩷

Schörfling, Seewalchen, Weyregg, and also Vöcklabruck are familiar towns and communities on Lake Attersee. I've been coming here regularly for decades. I'd love to do a circumnavigation of Lake Attersee on an e-bike, but unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to it yet. I think it's probably about 50 kilometers. Greetings from a German. 🙋😉👍👏

Always a very nice place to rest. When the pub is closed, there is usually coffee in a thermos flask, cakes on plates and a self-service drinks machine in the next room. It's nice that this still works on a trust basis!
