About Wolfgangsee
The Wolfgangsee is shared by shores of Salzburg and Upper Austria. Sankt Wolfgang spreads along the water, with the Schafberg mountain in the background.
Boat services connect towns around the lake according to the timetable. The lakeshore allows walks and stops to admire the terrain without going up the mountain. The name of the lake and the town are similar, but they do not correspond to the same landing point.
To combine a boat and the Schafbergbahn, compare the pier used with the train station and leave time between services. From May to September, days usually allow for a longer program on the shore. In winter, concentrate the visit during daylight and check boat operations.
