The area's history is preserved at the Imperial Villa in Bad Ischl, the former summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph I, and the medieval Ort Castle on Traunsee. Natural landmarks include the Dachstein Ice Caves and the alpine Gosauseen lakes. The region also hosts the Schafbergbahn cog railway and the Mauthausen Memorial, a site documenting the history of the Nazi concentration camp system.
