The stunning lakes of the Dachstein region are popular stage starts or destinations on many of our hiking tours. There’s hardly another region where you can admire so many lakes as in the Upper Austrian Salzkammergut. Whether mountain lakes or bathing lakes, a cool spot can be found around almost every corner.
Breathtaking views over the idyllic mountain lake to the imposing Dachstein are included in the tour of the Gosau area. Not least for this reason, the UNESCO World Heritage area of Hallstatt Dachstein in the Salzkammergut is a popular destination for young and old.
The area is comprised of a total of three lakes: the front and the rear Lake Gosau, as well as the Gosaulacke. Framed by the imposing Dachstein massif with white glaciers, you get a unique view into the beautiful mountains of the Salzburg Dolomites.
The crystal clear mountain lakes are surrounded by the Gosaukamm, a small mountain range in the Dachstein mountains. The rock formations form the border between the regions of Salzburg and Upper Austria. The Gosaukamm offers a unique backdrop over the Gosau Valley with its lake-filled landscape.
Walks along the Gosau Lakes impress with unique nature and spectacular views. The region is very popular with hikers during the day, but in the evenings you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery in peace.
As soon as you return from a day of hiking, the Gosau Lakes invite you to take a dip.
With Eurohike hiking tours you can also come to the Gosau Lakes and admire the beauty of nature:

The water in the Salzkammergut is very special and no lake is like another. Each one has its own particular beauty.
