The Panorama route hiking through the Gosau valley

On the street you will see a signpost with 37, 1 kilometre on it; a narrow road leads up the hill. There you will see a signpost with "Mittertal 4 km, Hintertal 6 km, and Gosausee 8 km". This road leads to the house "Grafen", follow this for a further two minutes until the road branches out at the signpost along a narrow pebble road that leads up to the forest. Pass the "Blochschustergraben" up to a road ending in a meadow. On the Gosau valley there is a spectacular view of the Gosaukamm. A steep uphill hike of about 20 minutes will take you back to houses. Cross the "Oslgraben" and shortly afterwards you will reach the forest street that leads to the Iglmoos alm.

Pass the "Schindereben" and the "Kreuzgraben" up to the farm house "Onimoos". Continue on until you pass another large graveyard the "Edelbach". A short steep hike goes up to the road, follow it upwards. Turn right at the "Evwagner" past the last brook the "Grabenbach" When you reach the Pass Gschütt Strasse continue a little further uphill to the bus stop. Cross the main road and go along the "Grabenbach" at the edge of the forest. This is the starting point for the second part of the Panorama route.

The path continues approximately 20 minutes further through the forest and the edge of the wood. When you reach the "Schüttanger" (in the middle of the valley) continue following the signs for Panoramaweg (Panorama route) cross the "Glaslgraben" and the brook "Ötscherangerbach", go past the farmer house "Ötscheranger" and cross the ski runway. After the ski-runway the route gets a little steep up the valley, cross the „Pommergraben" which goes above „Veitnbauern" and continues on past the „Falmbach" that leads to the Forststrasse. The hike can be ended at the crossing in direction "Hintertal" The way back is best along the Gosaubachweg (Gosau brook route).
