Gosau
Gosau is situated at an altitude of 767 m at the foot of the
mountain crest Gosaukamm (in the background Großer Donnerkogel, 2053 m). It is a well-known resort for summer and winter tourism.
Gosau was the first community that openly adopted the Protestant faith
after the Edict of Tolerance of Emperor Joseph II in 1781.
A popular place for hiking excursions in the area are the Gosau Lakes further south above Gosau.
