A cable car takes you up from the town to the Feuerkogel resort (around 1,600 m above sea level). The Traun River flows into Traunsee here, creating a bay with pleasant beaches. The municipality lies at approximately 443 m above sea level, has a surprisingly large area (about 194.7 km\u00b2), and under its administration you&#8217;ll find small mountain treasures like our favorite lakes Langbathseen and Offensee.       <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"display: inline-block; background-color: #2e7d32; color: #ffffff; padding: 10px 18px; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 4px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 8px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.en.html?city=-1976039&#038;aid=347511&#038;no_rooms=1&#038;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SHOW ACCOMMODATION IN EBENSEE <\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4457 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Obrazek-13.jpg\" alt=\"Ebensee - Things to do at Traunsee\" width=\"1000\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Obrazek-13.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Obrazek-13-768x562.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accommodation_in_Ebensee\"><\/span>Accommodation in Ebensee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #008000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.en.html?city=-1976039&#038;aid=347511&#038;no_rooms=1&#038;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Accommodation in Ebensee<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is limited and the best hotels and apartments are usually booked for the summer season well in advance.

If you&#8217;re looking for traditional caf\u00e9s, a romantic waterfront, and city programs instead of pure nature, you&#8217;ll like it here.

Most of the route follows maintained paths, which you can shorten via forest trails. Follow the tourist signs that will lead you to Lake Laudachsee. However, you can also reach the aforementioned Gr\u00fcnberg.     <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At the lake, plan lunch at the restaurant, or spread out your own snack on the meadow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Trip_to_the_Langbathseen_lakes\"><\/span>8. Trip to the Langbathseen lakes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of our favorite trips in Upper Austria is the trail around the mountain lakes Langbathseen. These two natural treasures are hidden in the mountains and forests above Ebensee, and besides by car, you can also get there by bike. In summer season, watch out for local traffic. The lakes are a popular excursion destination.   <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4460 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Obrazek-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ebensee - Things to do at Traunsee\" width=\"1170\" height=\"846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Obrazek-1.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Obrazek-1-768x555.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The parking lot has been paid since last year. I recommend downloading a parking app in case the local machine doesn&#8217;t work. <\/p>\n<p>Swimming is also possible at the Langbathseen lakes. The trail around Vorderer Langbathsee is easy and you won&#8217;t have problems with an outdoor stroller or wagon on most of the trail either. To Hinterer Langbathsee, expect a gentle climb on a gravel road.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #008000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rakouskajezera.cz\/en\/langbathseen-lakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Langbathseen Lakes: 2 treasures hidden in a natural paradise  <\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #008000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dovolenkarka.cz\/5-tipu-na-nejkrasnejsi-horska-jezera-v-hornim-rakousku\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 tips for the most beautiful mountain lakes in Upper Austria<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Trip_to_the_mountain_lake_Offensee\"><\/span>9.
