Salzkammergut
Encyclopedia
The Salzkammergut is a resort
area located in Austria
. It stretches from City of Salzburg
to the Dachstein mountain range, spanning the federal states
of Upper Austria
(80%), Salzburg
(7%), and Styria
(13%). The main river of the region is the Traun
, a tributary of the Danube
. The name Salzkammergut means "Estate of the Salt Chamber" and derives from the Imperial Salt Chamber, the authority charged with running the precious salt mines in the Habsburg
empire.
With its numerous lakes and mountains, the Salzkammergut offers many opportunities to take part in water sports, bathing
, hiking
, cycling
and golf
as well as relaxing around lakes such as the Grundlsee
or Toplitzsee
. The Katrinalm, an alpine pasture, is found near Bad Ischl
. Typical Salzkammergut culinary specialities include dishes such as Kaiserschmarrn
(cut-up and sugared pancake with raisins), Krapfen (similar to doughnut
s) or Lebkuchen
(gingerbread
).
Large parts of the region were listed as a World Heritage Site
in 1997, with the description: "Human activity in the magnificent natural landscape of the Salzkammergut began in prehistoric times, with the salt deposits being exploited as early as the 2nd millennium B.C. This resource formed the basis of the area's prosperity up to the middle of the 20th century, a prosperity that is reflected in the fine architecture of the town of Hallstatt
."

.
Recreational facilities include swimming and water sports at the many lakes, mountaineering
, cycling
and horse riding holidays, winter sports and cultural events. The region owes its reputation as a recreational area not only to its landscape and climate but also to its many spas
.
There used to be a salt mining
industry but it is today relatively minor contributor to the local economy. More important is the forest industry.
Industrial sites include Ebensee
, Gmunden
, Laakirchen
and Steyrermühl
. The Salzkammergut also profits from its tradition of small businesses and trade companies, many of which originated due to the salt mining.
The unemployment rate was approximately 4.8% in 2005, compared to an overall figure of 7.3% for Austria.
