Wonderful excursion on the lake. Wonderful boat and crew. Relaxing and glorious afternoon adventure on the waterHighly recommend
You have the lake thing. Then you add some mountains.Then add some beautiful little towns and you have winning formula.Take the ferry and enjoy the ride, prepare your cameras as it's "one of those" places.
Loved travelling on the schifffart even on rainy days! Not too expensive, buying the Salzkammargut card provides a discount. Schedules were very frequent and it was easy to obtain tickets.
Worth going on the lake for a tour, it was luckily a super sunny day and meant we could see for miles and the views were spectacular.
A breathtaking view of the lake, it's like heaven on earth, prepare your camera because there are some amazing and outstanding photos waiting for you.
The cruise on this lake is very enjoyable and there are so many photo' opportunities. Even though it was raining we still had a good time, although we had to stay inside.
We were lucky enough to visit at the time of the advent markets. The town itself is very pretty with lovely authentic Austrian houses with typical exterior decoration. The Advent market is very special with lit brassieres and live animals! On the lake are star lights and a large advent Candle which have their full effect after dark. Visiting via the lake ferry from St Gilgen is a wonderful way to visit.
We reached Wolfgangsee lake unplanned and with no idea about what to expect there (from Vienna). It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Luckily it was sunny day and the entire place looked simply superb. Had nice lunch at one of the lake front restaurant and a nice cable car ride to one of the snow capped mountains.A must visit if you are in Austria !!
We really enjoyed this boat trip. The Wolfgangsee is so magnificent. In 45 minutes it takes you from the centre of St. Wolfgang to St. Gilgen. You then get many beautiful sights over the lake. We paid 28,40 Euro. Two adults and two children (4 and 6). This was also for the return trip.
We loved the village, the lake and the Christmas markets. Unfortunately nearly all the shops and our hotel did not take American Express as payment and many only accept cash. This was slightly disappointing but I still hope to return in the summer months. The people were friendlier than in Vienna.
