 On the way to Sankt Wolfgang by seamandrew
The downside about having only one way to get there is that it takes quite long to get there. But the plus side is you get to enjoy the beautiful mountains and landscapes surrounding the Wolfgangsee. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 The Kaisern Elisabeth pulls
in. by seamandrew
The ship "Kaiser Franz Josef I."still exists, but the huge impellers are kept in motion by a diesel engine since the early fifties. The 33 m long nostalgia ship holds 200 persons and was already star in numerous films.
Today, the OEBB fleet counts six motor ships with the flagship "Wolfgang Amadeus". The largest ship, "Austria" seizes altogether 365
passengers and could be rented like all other ships of the fleet also for round travels or group journeys.
The OEBB lines belong to the fixed constituent of the region "Wolfgangsee" and enjoys largest popularity with guests from close and far. The fleet provides the connection of the places approximately around the lake and represents the most impressive possibility of exploring this pictorial area.
Wolfgangsee ferries stop at the village center (right next to the White Horse Inn) in Sankt Wolfgang and also by the Schafberg railway. Here you see the Kaiserin Elisabeth pulling in by the Schafberg railway station. Leave a Comment

 the technique of Schafberg -
bahn by globetrott
Everything looks so completely in perfect order !
The most of the track has just 1 rail and the opposite trains will have to wait in one of the 2 stations on the way up to Schafberg - summit. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Schafbergbahn by globetrott
There is a gear in the middle of the rails, that holds the whole train and moves it up safely since 1873 - when this train-track was constructed and built within only 1 year.
It was mainly ment for rich tourists and of course for the emperor, who was often hunting in that area. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 the emperor's saloon-wagon by globetrott
"...Es war sehr schön, es hat mich sehr gefreut..."
(It was very nice, I enjoyed it a lot )
So the company always had a seperate saloon-wagon for the emperor, but did never use it again.
Nowadays this saloon-wagon of the emperor is used as a part of a kiosk ( it is rather a storage room) and you may see it just a few meters from the train-station. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 St. Wolfgang - the Schafberg -
bahn by globetrott
every train consists of 2 waggons only, and whenever more waggons are needed, several trains will leave just behind each other. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Schafberg - bahn in St.
Wolfgang by globetrott
Each compartment consists of 2 opposite benches and a middle-corridor - and the corridor ends in a door, that will be locked by the conductor from outside during the ride.
So you may move between the 2 windows ONLY if the compartement is not fully seated.
Once you are in the train, you better get a seat at the window right away ! Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Steyr Puch Haflinger by globetrott
parking-lots. The prices varie a lot, according to the distance to the centre of town
Your hotel might have a parking for their guests, but better check in advance, how much the fees are there, as
it will mostly NOT be included in the hotel-price.
There is also a big parking-house - I will check out the prices next time !

The car on my pic is one of my all-time-dream-cars, and I saw it on top of Schafberg !
It is most probably the ONLY car beeing able to go up these small and very steep
mountain-roads.
In around 1964 this type of car STEYR PUCH HAFLINGER made the world record of a car
driving up on top of a mountain in the Andes/S.America with a hight of more than 6000 meters.
Well, this car with a length of 2,60 meters actually became my dream-car for my planned expeditions
and tours around the world,when I was 10 years old, long time BEFORE I found out, it might be rather
small for me, once that I grew up, beeing 186 cm now...
;-))
But one day I will have one of them, and ship it to Iceland to explore the remote parts... Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
