Some general information about Traunsee Lake. It is located in Austria (Upper Austria), total area - 24.5 km², the maximum depth is 191 meters.

The coast of Traunsee Lake is a real find for lovers of saturated turquoise water, and even these places are not traditionally famous for memorable landscapes - your vacation certainly won’t be any worse!
