Lake Wolfgang Essentials

Lake Wolfgang is a 13-square-kilometer lake in the Salzkammergut region, shared between Salzburg and Upper Austria. Key features include the Schafbergbahn, Austria's steepest steam cog railway, and the Schafberg peak offering 360-degree alpine views. The lakeside villages of St. Gilgen, Strobl, and St. Wolfgang are connected by a historic fleet of passenger ferries. Cultural landmarks include the baroque St. Sigismund church and a museum housing over 2,000 musical instruments from around the world.
