Talk:Gmunden

Rename this page!

The name of the town is Gmunden, not Gmünden (not to be confused with Gmünd in Lower Austria or Gemünden am Main in Germany). There is a redirect page called Gmunden; these two pages need to swap either their names or their content.

Things to add to this article:

• explanations or links for hauptschule, BG and BRG

• famous residents: playwright Thomas Bernhard

• Grünberg ("green mountain") with cable car from Gmunden

• town square was the southern terminus of the horse railway to Budweis (19th century); salt was shipped from mines in Ebensee to Gmunden and transferred there to horse-drawn trains.

• recent landslides in the Unterm Stein area destroyed a number of houses and jeopardise the future of the neighbourhood.

• featured on TV show "Schloss Orth"; also movies.

• annual endurance cycle race around the lake.

Transport-wise, Gmunden is served by:

 • main rail line via Attnang-Puchheim

 • narrow gauge railway from Lambach/Haag (via change of gauge)

 • tram (streetcar) line from the 1890s, claimed to be a record-holder

 • cable car from Gmunden to the Grünberg
