Bad Goisern

A holiday town in summer and winter alike, Bad Goisern is central to 31 villages nestling gently in the rolling hills of the scenic Goisertal valley. The healing iodine sulphur medicinal spring gave Bad Goisern its name - Bad meaning bath or spring.

There are a wide range of cultural events, sports highlights, traditional festivals and activities - such as swimming or skiing, snowshoe hiking or mountain biking, plus a lot more … there are also a vast variety of customs as well as the typical Austrian folk-music.
