"The lake" Gosau Things to Do Tip by ettiewyn

Gosausee is a lake at the mountain Dachstein. Actually, there are three different lakes called like that, "Vorderer Gosausee", "Gosaulacke" and "Hinterer Gosausee". They have similar names, but the only connection is that they are fed by the same mountain well.
The lake we visited is the "Vorderer Gosausee". As I wrote in the intro, it is very beautiful. We walked around a little and enjoyed the scenery before continuing to Hallstatt.
The lake is only 52squ.m. wide and thus it is very small compared to Wolfgangsee or Hallstätter See. Together with the other two lakes it is part of a nature protection area.

"Vorderer Gosausee" is located directly at the road which makes it great for a short stop. There is also an info centre where you can visit the restrooms, buy some souvenirs or buy a snack.
