The Thumsee is really a highlight! Great panorama, a great sunbathing lawn and good refreshment options or just something for in-between at the outdoor stands. Invites you to linger, the prices are moderate in my opinion!

A charming, rustic alpine pasture, the likes of which are rarely found these days.

The cycle path along the White Traun river is very beautiful and shady. There are several places where you can climb down to the river and cool off.
