Themed trail "Goiserer history(ies)"

The "Goiserer Geschichte(n)" theme trail takes you through the rich cultural, architectural and economic history of the village in 1.5 hours with the help of over thirty information boards. A contemplative walk through the history of the village, where you will discover the diversity and substance of Goisern's past and present.

A journey through Goiserer history

Non-Goiserers may find it a little difficult to translate this dialect poem by Willi Kefer (1913 to 1975). However, the 30 signposted experience points on this themed trail prove that the people of Goisern have developed into a very special breed of people. The flat circular route takes you on a good hour's walk to the most important stations in the history of this endearing market town. Above all, they document the importance that Goisern had for the trades "around salt". In the course of this "journey through time", a number of inns invite you to enjoy the appropriate culinary specialities.

The route description of the themed trail

Following Ramsaustraße, the "theme trail" before the Goisererbrücke bridge takes you to the right along the Traun river on the Traunreiterweg to the Sophienbrücke railway crossing.
