Parish church of Sankt
Wolfgang

by nhcram

The magnificent Parish church in Sankt Wolfgang is probably one of the most beautiful I have seen in a long time. It was built between the 14th and 15th centuries. The alter was designed by an Austrian artist by the name of Michael Pacher.

Whitre Horse Inn

by sandysmith

St Wolfgang is renowned for the White Horse Inn - made famous by the Operetta written by Oskar Blumenthal and Gustav Kadelburg. Its a romantic comedy of the loving head waiter and the dynamic White Horse Inn hostess during their stay at this Inn in 1896. In 1930 Ralph Benatzky composed the captivating music, and on 8th of November 1930 the opera had its premier at the great Schauspielhaus in Berlin. Since then "The White Horse Inn" - translated into four languages - has galloped around the entire world and tells about the holiday romance on the Lake Wolfgang.

snow on the Schafberg

by sandysmith

From St Wolfgang the Schafberg can be ascended on foot or by the famous cog railway. We did this trip in the summer but as you can see in this pic (please enlarge) even then there had been a scittering of snow on the Schafberg so dress up warmly it may be windy and snowy up there.

	Schafberg Cog Railway Tip Rating:

Updated By sandysmith on August 18, 2004

railway station

by sandysmith

Schafberg Cog Railway, built over 100 years ago, climbs the 5,300ft Schafberg mountain the easy way. A ride on this nostagic train is a must do - especially for those fans of the Sound of Music tour - I'm sure you'll recognise it from the film. Check the website for up to date fares and timetables.

	Pilgrimage Church Interior Tip Rating:

church interior

by sandysmith

The church is not always open but if you do get a chance to see inside the interior will leave you spellbound with its richness of colour and baroque treasures. The ceiling is stunning with its golden colours and just take a look at the ornate pulpit and organ.

	Escaping the crowds Tip Rating:

Schafberg from Wolfgangsee

by sandysmith

A good way to escape the crowds in the town is to take a delightful trip on a boat around the Wolfgangsee. The glacial water is an amazing blue colour and you can explore other resorts on the lake such as Strobl at tone end and St Gilgen with its Mozart connection at the other end (see more in off the beaten path).
Check the link for timetables and fares - often there is a combinred fare for the boat and train ride up the Schafberg - see later.
In this pic we are heading for St Gilgen and have a lovely view of the Schaberg on the way.

	The Wolfgangsee Tip Rating:

The unremarkable Wolfgagsee

by seamandrew

This splendid lake is yet another of Austria's many Alpine glacial lakes. If you are familiar with them, you'll know that they are truly an unbelievable sight to see. Wolfgangsee is very true to this description. It is absolutely gorgeous, surrounded on all sided by Mountains, fields, and small villages. It is dominated by the 1783 meter high Schafberg mountain on it's northern shore.

This lake is easily accessible from Salzburg and plays host to hordes of summer and weekend visitors escaping the city. Not to mention many honeymooners! In addtion to the two main resort towns of St. Wolfgang and St. Gilgen, it has Strobl on the eastern shore. It is all together a pleasant and unremarkable place.

Directions: Hard to miss on a map. Look for the Attersee (largest lake within the borders of Austria) and go south just a bit.

	Replica statue of Sankt Wolfgang Tip Rating:

Possible reliquary of Sankt
Wolfgang

by seamandrew

Inside the church, is a replica statue of Sankt Wolfgang. It is certainly worth seeing. It is closed off behind an iron gate and it is well protected. It must be priceless. It's quite possible that this is a reliquary containing the remains or relics of Sankt Wolfgang. I'm not sure though.
