There are two supermarkets in Bad Gastein, Billa and Eurospar, both open from 9 am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and 9 am to 5 pm on Saturdays. Both are closed on Sundays.
There is also a grocery shop with totally different opening hours, because it is meant to meet the needs of those who want to go to pic-nics or excursions. In fact it opens from 7 to 11 in the mornings, and then from 4 pm to 7 pm, seven days a week. It is not a big shop, but you can find the essentials there. The address is Kaiserhofstrasse 6. There are signs directing to it, but when you get there it is hard to find, because you cannot see it from the street. In fact it is inside the Kaiserhof. You need to go in through the main entrance, turn right and walk through the lobby. The Hapishop is past the reception. Leave a Comment

 The Evangelic Church by Manara
In 1807 the emperor Franz I inspected the place personally, in order to decide about projects to build infrastructures to take advantage of the spas as an economic resource. The thermal springs were at an altitude of 1000 metres above sea level, on the slopes of a steep mountain, so it seemed convenient to convey the water to the village of Hofgastein, which lies in the valley. That village, whose name became Badhofgastein, is still nowadays a thermal resort. Leave a Comment

 Monument to Kaiser
Wilhelm I by Manara
In the early 20th century the list of famous guests included King Georg of Saxony, Lord Balfour, King Karol I of Romania, Sigmund Freud, Arthur Conan Doyle, Arturo Toscanini, Somerset Maugham, Mrs Roosevelt. Then there was the "anschluss" (the annexation of Austria to the 3rd Reich) in 1938, and then the war. In the last months of the II World War Bad Gastein was used as an emergency headquarter for the government.
After the war Bad Gastein resumed its business, and the increasing popularity of skiing gave a new turn to tourism in this area. Leave a Comment

 Maria zum Guten Rat Pilgrimage
Church by Tolik
Altböckstein Montane Museum and the Altböckstein Montane Settlement (Medieval mining community).
The 14th century Paris Church in Dorfgastein has been partly remodeled in Baroque style. The Pfarfkirche in Bad Hofgastein is late Gothic Parish Church dating from the late 15th century, but it has a fine Baroque altar.
Mystery Church near Klammstein (in the natural cave, see the Gastein Valley above). It is one of the most important caves of Hohe Tauern and the largest of the Salzburger Central Alps (guided tours Tue – Sun 100 ATS). Leave a Comment
