From Altmünster town hall, we cycle left down Marktstraße to the underpass to the lakeside promenade, keep left and cycle past the campsite. Then we have to cycle back up to the B145 and turn right onto the cycle path to Gmunden. After passing the outdoor swimming pools in Altmünster and Gmunden, we reach Toscanapark. Here you should make a detour to the Seehotel Schloss Ort. Ort Castle (also spelt Orth until the early 20th century) is a complex of two castles on Lake Traunsee and is located on the islandof Ort in the village of Ort in the town of Gmunden in Upper Austria. It consists of the better-known lake castle on an island in Lake Traunsee and the country castle connected via the bridge. The lake castle is one of the oldest buildings in the Salzkammergut. (see Tour 1; source: Wikipedia).
We now continue along the lakeside promenade into the pedestrianised area of Gmunden to the town hall square, where the boat landing stage is also located. From here we continue to the Traunbrücke bridge, which we cross. Immediately after the bridge, we take a sharp right onto Schiffslände and then continue until we reach Traunsteinstraße. There we turn right and follow the road until we turn left to the valley station of the Grünberg cable car. Now follows the first ascent. Once this has been mastered, we follow the signs for "Franz'l im Holz" in a straight line on a tarmac path and ride past the Götschhof farm until we reach Laudachseestraße. Here we keep to the right and after a right-hand bend we reach the municipal boundary between Gmunden and Gschwandt at a bridge over the Wasserlosen Bach (it really is called that). From here there is a further climb with 11 hairpin bends over 2.5 km to our destination, the Franz'l im Holz restaurant on the left and Silberfuchs on the right.

We return to Altmünster in the opposite direction. If you want to relax for a while, you can do so in the Tapaletta tapas bar right next to the Altmünster solar pool.

After a short stretch along the bathing meadow and the campsite, we cross under the busy B145 and return to our starting point at the municipal office in Altmünster.
