at Zwieselalm and Löckermoos. The village is at an elevation of
780 meters and has about 2.000 inhabitants. The Gosausee with
its view to the glacier of the Dachstein and the reflection in the
lake is very famous.
Hallstatt
This picturesque village on the shore of the lake which takes its
name owes its existence to rich salt deposits, which have been
mined here since the days of the Celts and Illyrians. Hallstatt has
an altitude 508 m above sea level and nearly 1.000 inhabitants.
Additional to the salt mine, the world heritage museum and the
charnel house are popular sites in

800 meters. The Krippenstein (2.000 meter) is the local
mountain of Obertraun and offers a lot. In winter it’s a paradise
for free ride skiing. In summer there are the Ice and Mamut
cave and the plateau for rambling. A new attraction is the
outdoor deck “Five Fingers” where you have a breathtaking
few to the world heritage region
