Places of interest around St. Wolfgang in the Salzkammergut

Wondering what there is to discover in the region around St. Wolfgang?
What has to be on the bucket list for your dream vacation at Lake Wolfgang?

One thing right right from the start: Lake Wolfgang in itself is a sight to behold. It looks like a painting from a whole palette of aqua tones framed by imposing mountain peaks (Schafberg, Zwölferhorn, Postalm) and the three lovely towns of St. Wolfgang, Strobl and St. Gilgen. You already knew that the two federal states of Salzburg and upper Austria share this natural jewel?

To cut a long story short, there is an almost endless choice of possible excursion destinations and activities in the region of Lake Wolfgang. And there are activities for all tastes and all ages. In summer as well as in winter. 

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.

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 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.

In the 45 km distant city of Salzburg, also called "Florence of the North", a varied program for the whole family awaits you. After an exciting visit to the House of Nature or Mozart's birthplace, you are guaranteed to find something while strolling along Getreidegasse. Then take the fortress train up to fortress Hohensalzburg, which towers high above the baroque towers of the city. Afterwards, you have countless other options for winding down the day.

The Ausseerland in the Salzkammergut is the home of great artists, beautiful traditional clothing and old traditions. But also the magnificent nature with its clear waters, gentle plateaus, lush green landscapes and massive mountains is a good reason to visit the neighbor region (distance from hotel Zimmerbräu:
50 km).

Enter and be amazed - the Eisriesenwelt in Werfen, 72 km away, is not one of Salzburg's most popular attractions for nothing. The cave labyrinth with its imposing dynamic ice is not only spectacular to look at, but also pleasantly cool in summer.  Nothing for you? Our team at hotel Zimmerbräu will be happy to help you plan your excursion!
