"Via Artis Bad Aussee"

Open
The Via Artis should not only be a memory, but a realization of what people and artists have gained for themselves from this landscape over the past decades."
On the VIA ARTIS (Artists' Paths in Ausseerland) you can follow in the footsteps of some artists who, like many others, have chosen Ausseerland as their summer retreat or even as their adopted home. Like pearls, the three self-contained artists' paths - the Via Artis Bad Aussee, the Via Artis Altaussee and the Via Artis Grundlsee - are strung together with scenic beauty and memories of the cultural past to form a harmonious whole.
