The Traunstein is a rugged, 1691 m above sea level. A. high mountain on the eastern shore of Lake Traun in the district of Gmunden in Austria.
Because of its isolated position, pushed forward into the Alpine foothills and the walls sloping directly into the lake, it looks like a boulder in the landscape and is therefore a popular photo subject. Its distinctive silhouette is visible from afar, with clear air up to 150 km. That is why he is often referred to as the country's watchman or guardian of the Salzkammergut

It may be a "dream stone" for some people! But in the same way, it becomes a "nightmare stone" for some. Even with a height of only 1,691m, it is a very demanding mountain. So please be careful!
