Traunkirchen
Nestled on the shores of the crystal-clear Lake Traunsee and framed by the dramatic peaks of the Totes Gebirge, Traunkirchen is a picture-perfect village in Austria’s Salzkammergut region. With its charming historic buildings, narrow lanes, and the iconic parish church featuring the famous Fisherman’s Pulpit, the former monastic village offers a peaceful blend of history, nature, and understated elegance.
Visitors can enjoy relaxing walks along the lakeside promenade, scenic boat rides, or hiking excursions to nearby peaks such as the Gmundnerberg or Feuerkogel. Known for its warm hospitality, traditional cuisine, and breathtaking landscapes, the region has long inspired artists like Gustav Klimt and Johannes Brahms.
Vienna
Vienna, the capital of Austria, masterfully blends imperial grandeur with contemporary vibrancy. Majestic landmarks from the Habsburg era — such as the Hofburg Palace, Schönbrunn Palace, and the Vienna State Opera — reflect the city’s rich history, while modern architecture, creative districts, and a dynamic culinary scene define its present-day spirit.
Whether strolling along the elegant Ringstrasse, exploring world-renowned museums, enjoying the atmosphere of traditional coffeehouses, or attending a classical concert, Vienna offers culture at its finest. At the same time, the city remains welcoming, relaxed, and remarkably green, with countless parks and the nearby Danube Island providing space to unwind.
Informations about the accomodations
4* Hotel Post am See
Hideaway for Foodies & Free Spirits
Living artfully through the day is easy at the newly renovated Hotel Post am See in Traunkirchen on Lake Traunsee, in 2024. The architectural teams Arkan Zeytinogolu & Hinterwirth have infused extravagant life into the nearly 700-year-old Hotel Post am See. 61 cosmopolitan rooms, a dedicated floor for shared culinary experiences, Contemporary Bar, Rooftop Mountain SPA & Infinity Pool can now be found, far from metropolises, in the idyllic town of Traunkirchen. The heart of the former courtyard tavern of the monastery is a dedicated floor for connoisseurs, the Belétage. Monika and Wolfgang Gröller have created another gourmet hotspot alongside the legendary gourmet restaurant Bootshaus (at Hotel Das Traunsee – The Hotel by the Lake) and the traditional restaurant Poststube 1327 (at Hotel Post am See), a place typically found only in cities.
Belétage. Soul Kitchen to Share and Contemporary Bar
A whole floor for foodies: The Belétage at Hotel Post combines regional roots with urban flair. Casual dining without fixed hours or conventions: Tradition meets French chic, fish lovers meet vegetarians, and 700 years of history meets youthful, urban lifestyle. Whether having breakfast on the veranda with a view of the lake, using the working space in the library, catching glimpses of culinary insights in the open wood-fire kitchen, celebrating in the salon, enjoying a private dinner in the separate room, or gathering in the Wine Bar – Belétage offers many favorite spots. But at the center is the Contemporary Bar.
The seasons in a cocktail glass. The chefs in focus.
Executive Chef of Gröller Hospitality, which includes both Hotel Das Traunsee and Hotel Post am See, is the 1 Green Star & 1 Michelin Star chef Lukas Nagl. Young and creative, the Belétage team under head chef Max Deuker and head mixologist Marcus Volsa. Guests can experience the professionals up close at the Kitchen Counter. Culinary insights and meet-ups satisfy the thirst for knowledge and invite guests to indulge. Another food hotspot at Hotel Post am See is the Poststube 1327, where chef Stefan Griessler and his team celebrate modern interpretations of traditional tavern cuisine.
Nature Hideaway. BergSPA by the Shore of Lake Traunsee
Above the rooftops of Traunkirchen, the view of the mountains and the lake unfolds. The BergSPA is a reinterpretation of wellbeing. The gentle sound of the waves of Lake Traunsee already soothes the mind and invites you to dream. Attention to detail and the enchanting landscape are the focus – the spa is an oasis of wonder.
Pool Position: Stunning is the view from the infinity pool. Detox is the theme in the Bikini-Sauna, the Finnish Sauna, and the steam bath. Guided breathwork and meditation sessions or a sun salutation with a view of Lake Traunsee offer a great opportunity to breathe deeply.
