history

Meierhof and Zell church

Zell was originally an old farm of the St. Peter monastery in Salzburg and was built in the early Middle Ages at the time of St. Rupert of Salzburg . The place was first mentioned in documents at the end of the 12th century. The place name 'Zell' refers to a monastery cell and thus refers to the monastic roots of the settlement.

Westbahn stop Wallersee

In 1860 what was then the Empress Elisabeth Railway - today's Westbahn - was built and the route passed by Zell. The Weng –Zell section in particular, which crosses the moorland, required extensive dam protection measures. Zell was given a stop and the name Wallersee was added to mark its touristically interesting location. With the connection to the railway, tourism began for the first time and summer visitors came to the place. However, the addition to the name of Wallersee-Zell had little influence on the appearance of the village itself ; Only in recent years did the local campsite and boat dock develop.

Transport, economy and tourism

The current train stop Wallersee is the only way to get directly to the lake by public transport. The station is served by the S2 line of the Salzburg S-Bahn and regional trains. The four-track expansion of the Westbahn as a high-speed line between Straßwalchen and Salzburg is still in the planning stage, various routes are being examined. Wallersee-Zell can also be reached via Seekirchener Landesstraße (L 238), where there is a bus stop around 1 km away.

The Rupertiweg , a long-distance hiking trail running from north to south through Austria, runs through the village as a lake promenade . This is also part of a circular hiking trail around the Wallersee.
