Cosy home and beautiful nature in Altmünster, Austria

El texto en español más abajo.
Altmünster is an ideal calm touring base for visiting charming historical cities like Gmunden (2km), Bad Ischl (30km - European Cultural Capital 2024), Hallstatt, St.Wolfgang (40km), Salzburg (80km)... as well as exploring great nature: many lakes, green hills and high mountains! Some of the higher mountains can be crested by ropeway too :-). You'll find a lot of hiking trails nearby. Our region also offers a variety of cultural events f.e. in Gmunden (www.festwochen-gmunden.at) and other places like Salzburg and Linz. Also during summer you will find a variaty of (classical) concerts in our region!
Vienna can be reached by train or car in 2,5 hours (Altmünster has a railway station). On the photos you can see some parts of our house in Altmünster. We have a big garden with sunny terraces and table-tennis. We have a lot of Lego, Playmobil, Puzzles and board games... Supermarkets, farmacy, cash machine and bakery are in walking distance (5 min) as well as the lake and beach (10 min to go).

Vivimos en Altmünster (en Austria alta), que está situado en el oeste del lago "Traunsee". Está rodeada de colinas y montañas y tiene multitud de lugares agradables para hacer senderismo o escalar.
Esta región se llama "Salzkammergut" y tiene unas ciudades interesantes para visitar (como Gmunden, Bad Ischl, Salzburgo...), maravillosos pueblos como Traunkirchen, Hallstatt y St. Wolfgang así como una gran cantidad de lagos bonitos. A 5 minutos a pie de nuestra casa hay una panadería, supermercado, farmacia, banco… El lago y la playa están a 10 minutos a pie.

About Our Family

Monika (67, retired social worker) and Walter (68, retired med. doctor), we have 3 adult children and 5 little grandchildren who live in Germany, Vienna and Helsinki (Herttoniemi). So we have to travel a lot to meet our children ;-). One or other of them may join us for holiday for some time... We are interested in home exchange with Helsinki any time of the year.
