Pankratium


Gmünd's most atypical attraction is the Pankratium, an extraordinary space bringing together water, light and sound in hands-on pieces designed for the senses. You can bring sound gadgets and all manner of instruments to life on a tour that culminates in bubble-blowing in the yard. It's a sure-fire winner with kids.
