and Anita live in Upper Austria in the little village of

Gmunden,
which lies directly on the Traunsee, is a beautiful little
town at the foot of the Traunstein. The Traunstein is one of
Austria's most beautiful and impressive mountains. The the
Traunsee is one of Austria's most beautiful alpine lakes,
But,
Gmunden isn't only famous for its impressive surroundings,
it is also well known for its pottery. The Gmunden
Pottery. And, the Gmunden pottery's dinner service with its green and white

mountains, bracing mountain air, crisp mountain water,
and the best of fresh mountain food!
