Lake Gosau



- pets allowed
- All weather
- Suitable for groups
- Suitable for pushchairs
- Suitable for kids (all ages)
Description:
Due to the risk of rockfall and avalanches, the trail around the lake is closed during the winter season. Additionally, the path from the Vorderer to the Hinterer See is not accessible as it is located within a wildlife protection zone.
The municipality highlights these closures with an avalanche warning sign. As in previous years, no physical barriers are installed, as access to hunting areas and wildlife feeding stations must remain available. The path is therefore regularly cleared to ensure access for hunting purposes.
Please avoid these areas for your safety and to protect the natural environment.
The Lake Gosau is a small mountain lake, embedded in beautiful nature with a view of the Dachstein!
One of the most famous photo points in the region
This small mountain lake, which has a preservation order, has been made famous not only because of its outstanding natural beauty, but also because of its clear, cold water which is suitable as drinking water.
Because of its purity, the water provides perfect living/breeding conditions for numerous species of fish.
Nestling amongst the highest mountains of the Salzkammergut. The world traveller and naturalist Alexander Freiherr von Humboldt was overwhelmed by the beauty of thelake and its crowning glory - the "mighty towers of the Dachstein", and described it in his works as "the eye of God".
