About Schafbergbahn
The Schafbergbahn climbs from Sankt Wolfgang to the Schafberg on a rack railway. The route gains height above the Wolfgangsee and reaches a landscape of lakes and mountains.
The experience includes the train ride and time on the summit, where paths allow views in different directions. Visibility varies with the weather. The railway should not be confused with urban transport: services and available places must be organized for ascent and descent.
The full ascent season is usually concentrated between May and October; partial services may follow a different schedule. Dress for wind and lower temperatures than at the lakeshore. Plan your return before you start hiking on the summit, and do not rely on an improvised descent.
