dorfgastein austria
Dorfgastein was originally the toll collection point for the valley in the Middle Ages (a former trade route from Italy runs through the Gasteinertal) and the point of administration of the mining activities in the valley. The fortress - Burg Klammstein - at the entrance to the valley is a reminder of these days.
The principal hotel accommodation is around the centre of the village, although
there are some establishments in the surrounding hamlets along the valley road.
