Gmunden is a town in Upper Austria. It is best known as a health and summer resort, also is one of the oldest and largest pottery areas in Europe. Gmundner ceramics so unique and well-known have been set in the middle of the Salzkammergut since 1492. Gmunden is considered to be the place for traditional Austrian craftsmanship: The high art of pottery. Artists came here to work and were inspired by the natural beauty of the area around the lake Traunsee. That's where Gmundner Keramik's pottery is located.
