Exploring Traunsee & Melk Abbey - Austria roadtrip 04: | Travel Vlog
Subscribe to my channel:
Dad and I head on with our roadtrip throug Austria and I have to say the Salzkammergut region is just so stunning. We made an unplaned stop at Traunsee which is a Lake, and took a walk in Traunkirchen an idyllic little village named after the lake.. or the other way around.
Moving on from there we drove out of the alps into a flatter landscape heading north east. I first heard of Melk Abbey through Souldtravelers3 and just thought it looked impressive and really wanted to check it out. Dad was up for it, so we made a stop at the Abbey on our way to Vienna.
Milk Abbey was founded in 1089 and is known for mainly 2 things. It’s frescoed ceilings and it’s extensive and impressive library.
The value of the books seems to be the reason why Melk Abbey was never seized or dissolved like many other Abbeys.
When the Abbey needed a renovation 20 years ago, they partially funded it by selling their famous Gutenberg bible to Harvard University.

Salzkammergut Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Salzkammergut in Austria.
The Salzkammergut is located in the heart of Austria, a wonderful and romantic landscape set between breathtaking mountains and beautiful lakes. It was here that the Emperor Of Austria once spent the summer months and enjoyed all the benefits of this health resort in which salt, this region’s white gold, was once worked and where objects that date back to prehistoric times have been discovered.St. Gilgen is situated at the western end of the lake. It is set among captivating scenery at the foot of the Zwölferhorn Mountain that has a cable car service. Attractive houses, hotels and a city hall contain modern comforts hidden beyond a romantic façade and it was here that Mozart’s mother was born. A journey by hot air balloon is an amazing way in which to explore this fascinating landscape and from the sky it is far easier to gain a better perspective of the geology below. Nature defined the borders of this landscape: in the east the landscape stretches to the edge of the Tote Gebirge, a labyrinth of mountains with areas of karst and fields of mountain pine; in the south it extends to the snow covered Dachstein Mountains and their many caves. In the south west, the Tennen-Gebirge. In the west is the broad sweep of the Fuschl-See that marks the edge of the mountain region and in the north are the gentle hills of the Voralpen. Within the idyllic Almtal and its main village of Grünau is the untouched and romantic Alm See which is surrounded by the rugged mountain slopes of the Toten Gebirge that was formed by the glaciers of the Last Ice Age. Well appointed mountain huts and picturesque views across the gigantic peaks of the Gosaukamm Mountains to as far as the Bischofsmütze are a welcome reward to all who venture here. The views here are famous across the world. With the Dachstein Mountains as a backdrop this scene has featured on many a picture postcard. Its remote location set between mountains and lakes is truly captivating. A landscape of both history and culture: The Salzkammergut, a veritable paradise in the heart of Europe!

10 Best Tourist Attractions in Vienna, Austria's Capital City
10 Best Tourist Attractions in Vienna, Austria's Capital according to Rough Guides
10. Fiakers
In a place so steeped in nostalgia, it would be churlish not to have a ride in a Fiaker.
9. Karlskirche
Quite simply the most spectacular Baroque church in the capital, inside and out.
8. Haus der Musik
The museum of the conservative Vienna Philharmonic is one of the city's most innovative, with lots of interactive musical fun and games
7. Zentralfriedhof
One of the world's most awesome municipal cemeteries, with over two and a half million corpses, including Beethoven, Schubert,
Brahms, Schönberg and the entire Strauss family.
6. Trzesniewski
Minimalist snack bar, presided over by formidable assistants, serving tiny Brötchen washed down with a Pfiff -- a city institution.
5. Schatzkammer
The imperial family may have gone, but their hoard of crown jewels is full of absolute gems.
4. Prater
With its iconic Ferris wheel and old-fashioned funfair, the Prater is probably the best reason to venture east of the Danube Canal.
3. Opera
Vienna boasts one of the world's top opera houses, and also one of its most democratic, with standing-room tickets for as little as €2.50.
2. Museums-Quartier
Vienna's newest arts complex houses an orgy of works by Schiele, the city's chief modern art museum, and a host of funky cafés and bars.

Gmunden Old Town, Austria
Located at the north side of Traunsee, Gmunden is a historic town with a population of around 13,000 - a figure which has remained more or less constant over the past 150 years. Its wealth was due initially to the salt trade, later also to the ceramic production which still exists today. It was walled although today the walls are gone we can see in places where they were. As a tourist destination it offers a great deal such as Schloss Ort, a lake castle, hiking in the nearby mountains including use of the Grunberg cable way which was recently constructed, tours on lake Traunsee and a well constructed cycling route around the lake.
The attached film shows the history of the town and explains what can be seen there.
