Legendary journey through Ebensee
Dwarves, witches, giants and other mythical figures populate the legendary world of the Salzkammergut. This book traces the traditional stories surrounding the saltworks town of Ebensee on the southern shore of Lake Traunsee and invites you to discover the locations on marked walks.
The authors have edited the legends in a contemporary style and each legend is accompanied by notes on local history. Authors from Ebensee, including Sarah Michaela Orlovský, have contributed new legends.
The 32 legends are organised into eight legend trails. The routes can be accessed via QR codes and an accompanying map. The world of legends can thus be explored on foot or by bike. All the legends are also available as audio files, which can also be listened to using QR codes. The book also contains five legends in English.
The net proceeds from the book project will go to the Ebensee library.
