Retracing the footsteps
of Gustav Klimt
The famous Viennese Art Nouveau
painter spent many summers in the
region around Lake Attersee. Most
of his fifty renowned landscape
paintings originated here. Numerous
places along the Gustav Klimt Trail
inform you about his stays and lead
you around Lake Attersee, especially
along the northern and southern
shores in the area around Klimt’s
summer homes in Litzlberg, Kammer,
Weissenbach. These places along
the promenade from Seewalchen,
provide
you with information
regarding
Klimt’s life and work.
They are thus ideal starting points
for a hike retracing this famous
painter’s footsteps.

 Once upon a time, a mermaid named Adhara lived
in Lake Attersee. She brought the inhabitants gold
and jewels, but soon envy and greed befell the
inhabitants. Thus, Adhara retreated from Lake Attersee.
However, she left behind the magnificent glitter and
sparkle of the lake. Since then, she has hidden herself
away behind the Fallendwasser (waterfall),
also known as Nixenfall (Mermaid Falls).
