This 2km-long lakeside trail has information boards with prints of works by Gustav Klimt. The Vienna Secessionist painter spent regular spells on the Attersee's shores at the turn of the 20th century, painting many of his renowned landscapes here; the trail passes his summer residences. The Gustav Klimt Zentrum rents audio guides for the trail (€4).
