St. Hubertus Kapelle Thumersbach
Perched on the eastern shore of Zeller See in Thumersbach, St. Hubertus Kapelle stands as a quiet sentinel amid alpine meadows and forested paths. This modest chapel offers travelers a peaceful retreat with sweeping lake vistas and mountain backdrops, embodying the timeless spiritual heritage of Zell am See's lakeside villages. Ideal for contemplative walks along the Höhenpromenade, it captures the essence of Austria's alpine tranquility.
Stufenbrunnen
At the edge of Lake Zell, the Österreich Brunnen captivates with nine colorful ceramic columns designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Each pillar represents one of Austria's federal states, their heights mirroring population sizes and hues drawn from regional coats of arms. Water cascades playfully from column to column over natural stone, creating a dynamic symphony of sound and color. Commissioned by a local hotelier in 1996 and crafted by sculptor Hans Muhr, this ecological fountain integrates seamlessly into the alpine scenery, offering a unique blend of art, nature, and national symbolism right by the Grand Hotel. Visitors find it an irresistible photo spot and serene lakeside pause amid Zell am See's mountain grandeur.

Kriegerdenkmal
In the heart of Zell am See, the Kriegerdenkmal stands as a poignant tribute to those lost in the World Wars.
