The Traunstein is a rugged, 1691 m above sea level. A. high mountain on the east bank of the Traunsee in the district of Gmunden in Austria.Because of its isolated position in the foothills of the Alps and the walls sloping directly into the lake, it looks like a boulder in the landscape and is therefore a popular photo motif. Its striking silhouette is visible from afar, up to 150 km in clear air. That is why he is often referred to as the state watchman or "guardian of the Salzkammergut".
