The Wolfgangsee is one of the most beautiful lakes in the Salzkammergut and became world-famous through the operetta "Im Weißen Rössl" — the hotel of the same name actually exists and is located directly on the shore in St. Wolfgang. With its crystal-clear, turquoise-green water and a length of about ten kilometers nestled between gentle mountains, the Wolfgangsee is the epitome of Austrian summer freshness, which already attracted Emperor Franz Joseph and the Viennese society.
The Schafbergbahn, Austria's steepest cog railway since 1893, steams from St. Wolfgang up to the 1,783-meter-high Schafberg. Upon arrival at the top, one of the most magnificent views of the entire Salzkammergut awaits: up to 13 lakes can be seen simultaneously in clear weather. The pilgrimage site of St. Wolfgang houses one of the most significant late Gothic artworks in Europe, the Pacher altar in the pilgrimage church.
On the opposite shore, St. Gilgen, the birthplace of Mozart's mother, attracts visitors with its charming town center and the Zwölferhorn cable car. In summer, beach facilities, sailing schools, and SUP rental stations invite water sports enthusiasts, while hikers can enjoy the landscape on the pilgrimage path from St. Wolfgang or the panoramic path around the lake. The annual Wolfgangsee Advent with illuminated ships on the lake is one of the most atmospheric Advent experiences in all of Austria.
