In the middle of the Totes Gebirge, on the way from Grundlsee to the Pühringerhütte or the Albert-Appelhaus, you pass the two Lahngang lakes. This one, the one in front, lets you walk right up to its shore and reveals wonderful views of its deep blue water and the beautiful nature all around.

Rear Lahngang Lake

Highlight • Lake

Here you can enjoy a clear view of the Hinterer Lahngangsee. It is much smaller than the Vorderer Lahngangsee and difficult to access for hikers. However, the nature and peaks of the Totes Gebirge all around make it a beautiful place to stop for a moment.

Chapel in Gößl

Highlight • Religious Site

The Messkapelle Gößl is the only church in Styria that is not owned by the diocese. It belongs to 14 Gößler farming families, who applied for the building of their own church as early as 1792, since the way to the church in Bad Aussee was very difficult. After almost 40 years of discussion, this church was then built on its own property with a contribution from Archduke Johann.

sorry ... a lot of photos

so beautiful there, you can confidently go there and back the same way.

From Gößl am Grundlsee, the path leads along the Breuersteig and then along path 214, mainly through the forest up to the Drosengatterl at 1390m.
After a short rope insurance, open terrain begins in a gigantic mountain scenery, which is not …
