User reviews
"Not only are the swans a sight to behold at this beach, but there's something else equally beautiful, if you catch my drift. Make sure to pay a visit and keep an eye out for the renowned Gmunden celebrity. Trust me, you won't be let down. Who knows, she might even invite you over and treat you to some mouthwatering jausen."
