Gosau in summer - excursion tips and leisure activities

Whenever you feel like using a vacation day for sightseeing or other activities, you have a variety of options from the COOEE alpin Hotel Dachstein . Gosau is located in the heart of the Salzkammergut, a region rich in excursion destinations and leisure activities.

Not far from Gosau is Hallstatt with the oldest salt mine in the world. A day trip there takes you into a world where salt mining shaped people's lives 7,000 years ago. This is also the origin of all place names and regional names associated with "salt". There are lots of new and unexpected things to discover at this excursion destination, especially for children; the man in the salt or the underground salt lake are always a source of amazement and big eyes. You can also take part in guided tours and the World Heritage tour through historic Hallstatt.

Hallstatt

The alpine-style alleyways and houses dating back to the 16th century are home to bars and restaurants that invite you to linger. A ride on the Salt Mountain Railway and a tour of the underground salt lake round off the fun.

Ice cave and mammoth cave

They are the perfect excursion tips when the weather is not so good. Because you don't need sunshine to explore the underground passages through the Dachstein caves, for example. The slightly smaller Koppenbrüller Cave can also be easily reached on foot from the valley.
