Fantastic round trip past the three Gossauseen with the Dachstein massif always in view. The trail leads us first flat along the Vorderer Gosausee. Then we will reach Gosaulacke. The Gosaulacke is a karst lake that has almost dried up in dry conditions. Later we pass the "Launingfall", which offers a natural spectacle after rains. The trail leads through a barren forest area, partly stocked with leg-tubes, past the "Zigeunerloch". After overcoming a steep section, we are on the "Luagbichl". From here we have a beautiful view back to the Gosaulacke and the Vordere Gosausee. From the Gosaulacke we climb steadily uphill to the Hinterer Gosausee and run flat again to the Hinterer Gosausee. The hike shows us one of the most popular beautiful places of the Dachstein Salzkammergut, not by chance Unesco region up close: the Gosausee. Described by Alexander von Humboldt as the "Eye of God", the lake also impresses with its breathtaking scenery. The imposing Dachstein rises above the shore and is reflected in the water surface together with its glacier.
