Day trips from St. Wolfgang at the Lake Wolfgang:
The tranquil town of Bad Ischl is only 20 km away from the hotel Zimmerbräu. Visit the former imperial summer residence with its imperial villa, esplanade and spa gardens. The Kaffee Zauner serves the most delicious pastries you can find. If you prefer to breathe in the mountain air instead of the scent of coffee, take the Katrin cable car up to the Katrin Alm.
The world heritage Hallstatt, which has been photographed a million times and copied once, with its ossuary and the world's oldest salt mine above the city, is definitely worth seeing and a real experience to boot. For a little thrill, visit the viewing platform "Skywalk", which is located 360 meters above the rooftops of the town. Distance: 35 km from hotel Zimmerbräu.
The various piers of the spectacular viewing platform at Krippenstein jut out like the five fingers of a hand into a 400-meter-deep abyss. This is not for the faint of heart! Those who can prove their freedom from vertigo will be rewarded with a unique view of Lake Hallstatt - from a bird's eye view. Journey from Hotel Zimmerbräu: 40 km.
Gmunden (45 km from Hotel Zimmerbräu) is at the northern end of Lake Traunsee. Heading west along the beautiful lakeside promenade, you will reach the landmark of Gmunden: the Seeschloss Orth - beautifully viewed from the water by boat.
Festive decorations, 130 advent huts, the smell of tea and other delicacies ensure a guaranteed Christmas atmosphere. The advent at the Lake Wolfgang is considered one of the most beautiful in all of Austria.
The Lake Wolfgang boat trip has been around a little longer than the Schafbergbahn (since 1873). During a romantic trip on one of the 5 ships of the Lake Wolfgang fleet, you set off for new shores and head for the three towns of St. Wolfgang, Strobl and St. Gilgen via the waterway.
