The Traun river originates from the Totes Gebirge range in Styria, near Bad Aussee.
It flows through the Salzkammergut area and the lakes Hallstätter See and Traunsee.
The Traun is a tributary of the Danube, which it meets near Linz. Other towns along the river are Bad Aussee, Bad Ischl, Gmunden, Wels and Traun. It is 153 km long. The photo on the page of the Traun river in Wikipedia is taken in Obertraun. To see where the Traun originates one can take a "3-seen tour", which includes a boat trip on the Grundlsee, followed by a 15-minutes walk to Toplitzsee which one can cross only by boat-there is no path or road around the lake, and then a 5 minutes walk to Kammersee. This is where it starts. The boat trip on the Grundlsee can be replaced by a bus ride from Bad Aussee along this lake, bringning you to the same point accross the lake as the boat. It is a good alternative in the season when the boats are not in opertation yet.
The boats on lake Toplitz are flat-bottomed boats (Plätten), they are unique to the region and were once used in the salt trade.
Lake Toplitz is full of mysteries. The shore of Lake Toplitz served as a Nazi naval testing station. Millions of counterfeit pound sterling notes were dumped in the lake. Starting at a depth of 20 m, the water of the Toplitzsee contains no oxygen. The water in the lower section is increasingly salty. Deeper in the lake live different bacteria and some worms which can live without oxygen. When scientific experiments with a submarine were made, a strange oxygen-less, salty underwater world full of new kinds of bacteria was discovered. The site of the lake is http://www.toplitzsee.at/
