📍 Geographic Location of Gosau
Geographic Overview
The Austrian area code +43 6136 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the municipality of Gosau, located in the district of Gmunden in the federal state of Upper Austria (Oberösterreich). Gosau is a picturesque village situated in the Salzkammergut region, at the foot of the Dachstein mountain range. The code covers the town center and its immediate surroundings, including the valley settlements along the Gosau stream. The administrative jurisdiction falls under the Bezirk Gmunden, and the local telephone network is operated by A1 Telekom Austria and other licensed carriers.
Dialing Formats
For callers within Austria, the national trunk prefix 0 is used before the area code. Thus, a local call to Gosau is dialed as 0 6136 followed by the subscriber number, which typically has a length of 4 to 6 digits. The complete national significant number (NSN) is 9 digits, including the leading area code.
For international callers, the Austrian country code +43 replaces the trunk prefix. The international format is +43 6136 followed by the subscriber number, without the leading zero. For example, a local number such as 1234 would be dialed as 06136 1234 from within Austria, and as +43 6136 1234 from abroad.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within the Gosau area can often dial the subscriber number without the area code if the call is within the same local network, but for clarity and to avoid misrouting, it is recommended to always use the full national format. Callers from other Austrian regions must dial the trunk prefix 0 before the area code. Foreign callers should replace the trunk prefix with the international access code (00 or +) and the country code 43.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan, there is no overlay code for 6136; it is the sole geographic code for Gosau. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers, so a number with this prefix may not necessarily be physically located in Gosau. The code is used for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services, and is not assigned to mobile networks.
