In front of the **Goisererbrücke bridge** (near the centre [**Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee**](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-stadt-ort/detail/430000966/bad-goisern-am-hallstaettersee.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)), you walk **right past Bad Goisern railway station towards Weißenbachbrücke**, always accompanied by the rushing of the tireless Traun river. With a walking time of approx. 1 hour 15 minutes, this trail has been one of the most popular running and walking trails for many years. The **level and easy path** is also perfectly **suitable for families with pushchairs or wheelchair users**! Where does the name Traunreiter come from? ------------------------------------------ The Traunreiter **existed from the 16th to the 19th century**. They were **salt boatmen** who transported the salt extracted in Hallstatt on the Traun to the salt works in Ebensee. **On the way back**, the ships were loaded with grain, wine and other provisions and **were pulled back** on land by horses towards Hallstatt, hence the name. Only non-swimmers were employed as Traun riders for the sole reason that they **did not leave the ship** in case of danger. Furthermore, **no women were taken on board** as it was firmly believed that women chatted away during the journey and therefore **no longer paid attention to the dangers** during the journey.
