A community for internationals in Gmunden and the Salzkammergut


We're Andreas and Daniela, and we started this community.
Andreas grew up in Gmunden, then spent nearly 20 years abroad. He lived in Gothenburg/Sweden, Barcelona/Spain, worked across Africa, and travelled whenever he could. Daniela is from Argentina, at 16 she lived in Denmark; later in Italy, then many years in Barcelona. In 2025 we came to Gmunden together with our son.
Here, we kept running into people with a story like ours. Some had moved to the Salzkammergut from somewhere else; others were locals who'd lived abroad and come back changed by it. We'd meet them at the playground, in "Krabbelstubbe", on a hike, by chance. But there was nowhere we naturally met each other.
So we built that place. That's what this community is.
Join the communityGmunden and the towns around the lake are full of people from abroad. Some came for a job, some for love, some with kids in tow, some to finally enjoy retirement by the water.
But there was never an easy way to find each other. So we started this community, so nobody has to figure out life here alone. We live in a WhatsApp Community and meet in real life as often as we can.

All times in Gmunden time.
