Vordere Langbathsee: a special natural jewel located at 664 m above sea level,
and only 40 km away from Attersee. Recommended: Half-day or whole-day excursion,
with the possibility of visiting Gmunden at Traunsee.
Hallstättersee: (508 m above sea level), Distance to Attersee ~ 45 km.
Recommended: Whole-day excursion, with the possibility of visiting Vorderer Gosausee.
Vorderer Gosausee: (933 m above sea level), Distance to Attersee ~ 58 km.
Recommended: whole-day excursion. A very special experience - diving at the foot
of Dachstein (highest mountain in the Salzkammergut). During a diving break, you can
take a stroll around the lake, take a small ride with the electric boat, or simply enjoy
culinary delights at the “Wirt am See”.
Der Grundlsee: (712 m above sea level), Distance to Attersee ~ 60 km
Recommended: Whole-day excursion, also combinable with a visit to Altausseersee
(709 m above sea level), Hallstättersee, or Vorderer Gosausee. At the end of Grundlsee,

to Kammersee (origin of the Traun River) is recommended. This is sure to be a special
holiday experience. (Caution is advised regarding the return trip, for you must overcome
a pass height of 993 m above sea level - deco danger!)
Wolfgangsee: (540 m above sea level), Distance to Attersee ~ 18 km.
Recommended: only for a dive or as a whole-day excursion. Wolfgangsee in the area
of St. Gilgen offers two extraordinary diving spots.
Mondsee: (540 m above sea level) Distance to Attersee ~ 2 km. Mondsee is usually
not as clear as Attersee, and therefore distinctly darker. However, it offers very interesting
diving possibilities in the areas of Kreuzstein, Kienbergwand and Harnischwand.
