Landhotel Grünberg am See

Top choice in The Salzkammergut


Situated right on the lakeshore, a 10-minute drive from the town centre, this sweet, family-run hotel offers bright, spacious (if rather predictably furnished) rooms. It's worth opting for those with lake views and balconies. Lake fish is served in the dining room (€11.90 to €19.50), which also shares the views, while the book-lined breakfast room is a cosy treat. Half-board accommodation is available.

There’s outdoor seating with lake views, as well as waterskiing from the private jetty for the actively inclined. A section of the walking trail leading to the pretty Laudachsee (three hours) begins behind the building.
