On the journey from Vorchdorf to Gmunden, in the municipality of Kirchham, a life-sized wooden mermaid attracts everyone's attention. In front of the sculpture there is a large wooden sign with the inscription MOTORSAGLA, the artist name of Herbert Danzer. It's hard to believe that Danzer's lifelike mermaid was carved with a chainsaw, but it is true.
