Gosausee, Austria
July 2015 Gosau valley, Salzkammergut region, Austria Gosau is situated along the Gosaubach stream in the Salzkammergut region. The center of the town is at an elevation of 767 meters. At the southern end of Gosau there is a road leading to the Vorderer Gosausee, a lake with a scenic view of the Dachstein. The valley around Gosau was settled in the 13th century by monks from St. Peter's Abbey in Salzburg. Timber production for the salt mine in Hallstatt was a major industry. In the past timber production and salt mining in neighboring Hallstatt have historically been the major industries in Gosau. Today, tourism is the main source of income, although raising livestock, mainly cattle, is also an important economic activity. This view is from above the Gablonzer hut in the Gosaukam range (altitude ca. 1.600 meters).
