one of the best experiences we've had in Austria. this is a must to if you are Turing the area. the way up is amazing and the view in once in a lifetime.
Cog railway train is having style and is comfy. Schafberg - place from where you can observe the valleys around and spend pleasant few hours enjoying family trip. We enjoyed tasteful lunch in the restaurant there.
It may seem a little pricey but it is well worth it. Although it was a sun/cloud mix on the day we went (we were above the clouds!), we still were able to see many of the surrounding lakes.
beautiful views, beds r uncomfortable and fog rolls in the morning and night in october no view except during day.
An amazing experience. We went on the moonlight special a few years ago, which reduced everyone to a genuinely awed silence. The views of the Schafberg from the valley and the lake are glorious too.
One of the best train trips that I had ever during the last few years. you will have the chance to see the best view when you reach the top of the mountain. Highly recommended.
5月去的 天气好,半雪半山天么么蓝~老外都敢光了膀子上“雪”山晒太阳 小火车一路就是森林+五大湖 ~山顶的餐厅消费也不高,(有帅哥服务员) 喝喝啤酒 看看湖 惬意啊~提醒下自驾滴童鞋~停车没有机器的~记得用转盘打好。赶观光火车忘记了没打上,下来一张抄报单。。。
You won't be disappointed. The views are amazing ...... and it's a fun ride. A great family thing to do for all ages.
Amazing view really Wow especially on the sunny day. There are 2 cafe where you can drink coffee or beer with some food however if it foggy don't go you hardly see anything.
The cog railway leaves opposite the Wolfgangsee boat jetty. If you arrive by bus there is a stop near it or walk down the hill from Wolfgangsee Michael Pacher house. The cog railway has a special timetable during advent. When you get there, there is an electronic sign telling you how many seats are left on each trip.Basically the train takes 15-20 minutes to go up to the 'Advent Wagon' (where you can buy drinks). It does not go all the way up to the top in December. It stops there for about 20 minutes before you get back on to descend.When we left, it was very foggy at the bottom. Not much could be seen on the trip up, but just before stopping we broke through the fog, to see a chain of mountain tops and sun! Quite atmospheric and stunning. Even though the fog swirled around in the valleys and over the lakes, it did not lift ... So for us no lake view! What you see I guess is a matter of luck.
