Itinerary

Stop 1

Once you have seen the first lake, continue along the lakeside road to St. Gilgen, where you can stop for a picture of St. Gilgen with the Wolfgangsee in the background before heading into the town centre.
Stop 3

After exploring St Gilgen, the birthplace of Mozart's mother, your journey takes you to the next highlight of the day, St Wolfgang. St Wolfgang is one of the most beautiful lakeside towns in the Lake District and is famous for its Christmas Market. After exploring the town you can stop off at the Restaurant im Weissen Rössel, which has a terrace overlooking the lake.

Weather permitting, you can take the rack-railway to the top of the Schafberg for the views (and lunch, if you like) from a 6000ft mountain.
Wolfgangsee Lake
