‘Klackl or Seeklausalm’ on Lake Gosau

Brettljause between mountains & lake

After hiking with your family around the picturesque Lake Gosau in the afternoon, or conquering the climbing route with friends or a leisurely paddle over the idyllic mountain lake with your partner, when the dairyman greets you with a cheerful "Griaß di" and you are served with a hearty Brettljause (Austrian ploughman’s lunch)... this is the experience of summer on the Klackl or Seeklausalm Alpine pasture in UNESCO World Heritage region of Dachstein Salzkammergut. A hearty meal with homemade natural products from the region, along with a fresh shandy, the breath-taking panoramic view of the mighty Dachstein Glacier and the romantic ringing of cowbells – this is how diverse and stunning a holiday on Lake Gosau can be!

Our tip: The Klackl or Seeklausalm in Gosau is particularly good "for guests who are not able walkers": The idyllic mountain pasture, above Lake Gosau, is a 10 or 15 minute walk from the large car park or bus stop respectively!

But there's more to consider:
