From this location you have the perfect postcard image: the lake lies quietly at your feet and the grey mountains and the blue sky are reflected picturesquely in the water. Still beautiful even the hundredth time.

Gosau am Dachstein is one of our favorite places and a walk around Lake Gosau is a must. It's beautiful here at any time of year. Incidentally, the film 'The Wall' with Martina Gedeck was filmed here...but she didn't have as much fun here in the film as we did 😉
