Favorite thing: I've read that St. Wolfgang can get overwhelmed by tourist hordes in the peak seasons, but if you visit during the off or fringe seasons, you're likely to find a very easy-going place in beautiful, natural surroundings. I came here with no specific plans, but had intended to stay only for one night and then to move on to another lake area town. However, I enjoyed the atmosphere here so much that I decided to make it my base and spend an extra night.

Favorite thing: On the eastern edge of town near the outdoor parking lot, you'll find this tourist information center that has plenty of helpful brochures and an English speaking staff to assist with planning your stay in St. Wolfgang or other adventures throughout the lake region.

Favorite thing: The town of Sankt Wolfgang has a vibrant vitality that draws you to it. Because of this liveliness and its connection with nature, love seems to be amplified in Sankt Wolfgang. I'm not sure how to explain what I mean, perhaps there is no way to describe it. The best I can recommend is to bring your significant other to this town, gaze out into the lake, and hold each other. You'll see what I mean when you get there.
Fondest memory: Elisabeth was busy taking a picture of the Wolfgangsee and I stood behind her seeing her silhouette form an everlasting impint in my mind. I'm so glad I took this picture, but it wasn't necessary as this moment will always be in my mind. Sankt Wolfgang is truly a romantic place.

Favorite thing: Hotel Weisses R?ssl offers a terrace directely on the lake of St. Wolfgang
Weisses R?ssl means WHITE HORSE
Prices are pretty high in St. Wolfgang anyway, and in Weisses R?ssl they are even a bit higher...
BUT everyone wants to go there anyway, and most of the tourists also think of a certain melody :
Im weissen R?ssel am Wolfgangsee, da steht das Gl?ck vor der T?r, und ruft Dir zu : "Guten Morgen, im Weissen R?ssl am See"
(I tried to translate, but ALL of the certain poetry would be lost...)
Maybe someone has an apropriate way to translate ??

Favorite thing: Hotel Weisses Rössl is the major attraction for St. Wolfgang, as so plenty of people will remember the great and popular songs of the operetta.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fondest memory: Every spot in town is filled with hotels, restaurants and souvenirshops.
You will have to leave your car outside and walk through town.
On my pic is the famous hotel and it's great terrace on the left !

Favorite thing: It was the usual way for rich people to explore the mountains in the Salzkammergut to hire people to carry them up the mountains in a chair like the one on my picture:
2 strong sticks were put into the fixtures and the tourists did not have to climb up the mountains themselves.
"Sesselträger" was a real profession and a good income untill the construction of the Schafbergbahn a bit more than 110 years ago.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fondest memory: This chair is an exhibit in Kaiservilla in Bad Ischl

Favorite thing: The village of St. Wolfgang is indeed "nestled" at the foot of a mountain. (I like that word "nestled".)

Favorite thing: This is the view of the Wolfgangsee when you are standing on the porch of the church and looking out over the lake.
