Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee, Market municipality in Gmunden District, Austria.

Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee spans across 112 square kilometers near Lake Hallstatt, featuring alpine meadows and mountain ranges at 500 meters elevation.

The settlement, first documented as Gebisham in the 13th century, received its spa town designation in 1931 and market town status in 1952.
