The Raftsmen Monument in Schörfling am Attersee (Hauptstraße, near the Ager bridge) commemorates the historically significant timber rafting and shipping of the region. It was erected on May 27, 1984, by the Verschönerungsverein and is based on designs by Hannes Haslecker (1967) and Prof. Max Stockenhuber (1981).

Schloss Kammer is a moated castle in Schörfling am Attersee (Hauptstraße 28) in Upper Austria. The alternative, obsolete name Kammersee for the lake refers to this castle and thus to the Salzkammergut. The castle, today located on a peninsula, originally on an island (with a jetty to the mainland) in the northern Attersee, is a massive, rectangular, three-story building with two low side wings enclosing a courtyard.

The Raftsmen's Memorial, located at the outflow of Lake Attersee, above the Ager Bridge, commemorates the once-thriving timber rafting and shipping industry. It was erected on May 27, 1984, by the local beautification society. The initial design was created by Hannes Haslecker in 1967, and the second by Professor Max Stockenhuber in 1981. Timber rafting was formerly an important economic factor in the Attersee region. Those interested in learning more about this tradition can admire the fascinating exhibits at the local history museum on Gmundnerstrasse. Visits are by appointment only.

The Pile Dwelling Adventure at Lake Attersee. Since June 2011, we are delighted that three of the submerged pile-dwelling villages in Lake Attersee have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From the Neolithic period to the Bronze Age, our ancestors lived here and built their villages on piles. In total, 111 settlements have been recognized as World Heritage sites in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Slovenia, and Italy. In addition to our three treasures on Lake Attersee – Litzlberg South, Abtsdorf 1 and 3 – we also find the settlement of See am Mondsee and an island in Lake Keutschacher See, which have received this distinction. Would you like to immerse yourself in the lives of the first settlers? Or are you interested in life in the Stone Age? Then you can follow in the footsteps of Ötzi and turn back the clock with a pile-dwelling guide. Be inspired and discover the exciting history of our region around Lake Attersee!

The rafters' monument at the outlet of the Attersee, above the Ager Bridge, reminds us of the transshipment point for raftsmen and boatmen. It was built on May 27, 1984 by the Beautification Association. Worth seeing exhibits from the rafting industry, which used to be an important economic factor in the Attersee region, are on display in the home building on Gmundnerstrasse.
