The Raftsmen's Memorial, located at the outflow of Lake Attersee, above the Ager Bridge, commemorates the once-thriving timber rafting and shipping industry. It was erected on May 27, 1984, by the local beautification society. The initial design was created by Hannes Haslecker in 1967, and the second by Professor Max Stockenhuber in 1981. Timber rafting was formerly an important economic factor in the Attersee region. Those interested in learning more about this tradition can admire the fascinating exhibits at the local history museum on Gmundnerstrasse. Visits are by appointment only.

The Pile Dwelling Adventure at Lake Attersee. Since June 2011, we are delighted that three of the submerged pile-dwelling villages in Lake Attersee have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From the Neolithic period to the Bronze Age, our ancestors lived here and built their villages on piles. In total, 111 settlements have been recognized as World Heritage sites in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Slovenia, and Italy. In addition to our three treasures on Lake Attersee – Litzlberg South, Abtsdorf 1 and 3 – we also find the settlement of See am Mondsee and an island in Lake Keutschacher See, which have received this distinction. Would you like to immerse yourself in the lives of the first settlers? Or are you interested in life in the Stone Age? Then you can follow in the footsteps of Ötzi and turn back the clock with a pile-dwelling guide. Be inspired and discover the exciting history of our region around Lake Attersee!

At Seewalchen lido, parents and children have plenty to do to really spice up their day at the beach! The 10-meter diving platform tempts the bravest among you who want to plunge directly into the clear Attersee. If you're looking for warmer water, the solar-heated pool is just the thing. But the best comes last: The long water slide is tons of fun and leads into its own pool – here, sliding becomes a real highlight! For younger guests, there's a cute children's area with a large baby pool, shaded by awnings, and a great playground for romping. The prices for admission to Seewalchen lido are as follows: a day ticket for adults costs €5.50 from 9 a.m., €4.60 from 1 p.m., and €2.70 from 4 p.m. Pupils, apprentices, students, disabled people, and those doing military or civil service pay €3.40 from 9 a.m., €2.50 from 1 p.m., and €1.70 from 4 p.m. Families (2 adults with children) pay from 9 a.m.
