Introducing Attersee

The largest lake in the Salzkammergut is flanked mostly by hills, with mountains in the south. It’s one of the less scenic and less visited of the Salzkammergut’s lakes, but a few resorts cling to the shoreline, offering the usual water-leisure activities. The main resort is Attersee, which has a museum and a couple of churches. Its tourist office (7719; www.attersee.at; Nussdorferstrasse 15; 9am-6pm Mon-Fri, 9am-noon Sat, 9-11am Sun Jul & Aug, 9am-noon & 2-5pm Mon-Fri, 9am-noon Sat May, Jun & Sep, 9am-noon & 2-5pm Mon-Fri Oct-Apr) can help with accommodation.

Attersee-Schifffahrt (7806; www.atterseeschifffahrt.at) does mostly alternating boat circuits of the north (€7.50, 1¼ hours) and south (€13, 2¼ hours) regions of the lake several times most days from early May to late September, and a daily full circuit (€16, 3¾ hours) in July and August.
