Tips when reporting an emergency – Answer these six questions: What happened? How many people are injured? Where did the accident happen (are there GPS coordinates)? Who is reporting the incident (callback number)? When did the accident happen? What is the weather like at the site of the incident?

Café Wagner in Gnas is particularly distinguished by its homemade ice cream. For lunch we recommend the Gasthaus Kurzweil in Gnas or the Gasthaus Weninger in Perlsdorf.A popular meeting place, centrally located on the newly designed main square.
