THE TRAUNSEE-THE HOTEL ON THE LAKE
3rd place: There are places where it's easy to forget the daily to-do list, let go and relax and do nothing - the Gröller family's Traunsee is a gem for foodies and individualists.
Hosts with a passion
Inspired by the cultural and culinary heritage of the Traunsee region, a cosmopolitan outlook and the courage to do things differently, Monika and Wolfgang Gröller create places for people in search of peace, clarity and new inspiration. Now in their third generation, the two are forward-looking and responsible, with respect for their roots and the original. Wolfgang Gröller is a hotelier, landlord and tour guide. No sooner has he been in the restaurant than you meet him again on the lake, where he shows guests his homeland in his Plätte - a traditional wooden boat. The 1,000-year-old monastery, the famous fisherman's chancel of the parish church or the Calvary - it's well worth exploring the area.
Enjoyment at hood level
The most beautiful view of Lake Traunsee can be enjoyed from the Bootshaus restaurant. The cuisine is without frills and airs and graces, is understandable, simple and reduced to the essentials, yet refined and cosmopolitan - the food is uncompromisingly regional. The team around head chef, "Gault Millau Chef of the Year 2023" and Jeunes Restaurateur Lukas Nagl has been rewarded with 4 Gault Millau toques and is one of the best restaurants in the country. Lake Traunsee is also just a stone's throw away in the small and very fine spa with private bathing jetty, Finnish sauna with a magnificent view of the Traunstein, bio sauna, infrared cabin, steam bath and ice grotto. If you want to experience a treat for body and senses, treat yourself to a massage or beauty treatment with high-quality products from QMS.
