Where the real and the bizarre meet, “bizarre realism” comes into the world. This neologism was coined by Ebensee writer Walter Pilar, who died in 2018. He and many other contemporary artists show works of unconventional power in the historic Villa Pantschoulidzeff in Traunkirchen and on the terrain of the Karbach quarry on the inaccessible eastern shore of Lake Traunsee (district of Gmunden).
The tour starts at the Loidl landing stage (Ortsplatz, 4801 Traunkirchen), the villa can also be visited without a tour.
