The Seeschloss Ort is located on a small island connected to the Toskana peninsula by an approximately 120 m long wooden bridge. It is the landmark of Gmunden. Until a few years ago, the spelling "Orth" was still common. On the left side of the inner courtyard, various flood marks are indicated, according to which the flood of 1594 in the Seeschloss Ort had reached a height of 2.97 m, thus reaching the highest step of the covered walkway. The small castle chapel is dedicated to Saint James. The castle tower, behind which the much smaller church spire almost disappears, bears the year "1092". The altarpiece depicts "The Assumption of Mary", in which Saint James the Greater, the patron saint of the church, participates.

Up here, the view of Gmunden is still restricted by trees, the view to the north towards Kronberg/Vöcklaberg is clear

The approximately 7 km long route is perfect for downhill riding, with only a steeper gradient and rougher gravel at the very top. After about 0.5 km, the terrain becomes increasingly easier and the path descends gently, allowing you to truly enjoy the fast descent 🤩 The uphill section can be a bit psychologically tough 🤔

The small summit cross on the side of the path is easily overlooked - it stands a little way from the striking viewpoint
