Gosau, Austria

 

Gosau is a picturesque village in Upper Austria, situated along the Gosaubach stream in the Salzkammergut region and a UNESCO World heritage site, and is nestled in the center of Dachstein mountains and is popular for its astonishing and impressive scenery.  

We stopped by Hallstatt a day before our visit here in Gosau.  Hallstatt  is only 14 kilometers away from Gosau. We were accommodated in Sonnenalm less than two (2) kilometers from Gosau.
