Gossau

Tucked into the rolling farmland of the Fürstenland, west of St Gallen, Gossau is a place whose character is shaped by its position near the headwaters of the Glatt on the Swiss Plateau. The town stands in a region once governed by the prince-abbots of St Gall, and the name Fürstenland still recalls that former ecclesiastical territory. Gossau is also an important local rail hub, with lines connecting St Gallen, Herisau and the Toggenburg. Its built-up centre gives way to an agricultural hinterland, while Walter Zoo is a familiar local attraction.
