hiking trail in Attersee

Gustav Klimt Themenweg

The Gustav Klimt Themenweg is a 26-station themed hiking trail along the western shore of the Attersee in the Salzkammergut, connecting the locations where the painter Gustav Klimt spent his summers between 1900 and 1916 and produced some of his most recognized landscapes.

The Gustav Klimt Themenweg is a 26-station trail along the western Attersee shore connecting the spots where Klimt painted more than 50 landscapes during his Salzkammergut summers from 1900 to 1916. The Attersee landscapes are a quieter, more contemplative body of work than the famous Vienna allegories, and walking the lake shore with reproductions in hand makes the connection between painting and place concrete. Free and open-air; start from Kammer am Attersee and visit the Gustav Klimt Zentrum there first for context. Reach the Attersee by regional bus from Vocklamarkt on the Salzburg to Linz rail line.
