St. Gilgen, Austria
St. Gilgen (Sankt Gilgen) is a charming town on the shore of Lake Wolfgang (Wolfgangsee) in the Salzkammergut region of Austria. Surrounded by mountains, it lies at 545 metres. It is very popular among international tourists, who come to St. Gilgen on day trips during the summer season. The area offers a good base for walkers, hikers and sightseers. St. Gilgen is famous for its scenery, the historic town centre and the access to Lake Wolfgangsee. Mozart's mother was born here and the village has a definite historic atmosphere. In front of the Mozart Memorial House, there is a small garden with a charming fountain by Toni Schneider Manzell, depicting Mozart's mother as a small girl. The fountain on the Mozartplatz in St. Gilgen shows the young Mozart playing the violin, surrounded by birds spouting water. The fountain, which dates back to 1926, is the work of the Viennese art nouveau sculptor, Karl Wollek. This charming town can be visited as a day trip from Salzburg but would also be a great place to stay for a longer visit.

Day Trip: St. Wolfgang, Wolfgangsee Lake and the St. Gilgen Cable Cars
The following video will highlight the how to make the most out of a day at Wolfgansee Lake.
Start your day by exploring the beautiful St Wolfgang. There are loads of things to do at St Wolfgang, but it would be best to spend only around 2-3 hours here if you wish to fit everything we did into your day.
Make sure to check out the St Wolfgang Church.
Next, you have the option of one of two things.
If you are there during the right months, we highly recommend that you buy a ticket for the SchafbergBahn. This cog railway is the steepest in Austria and the views from the top of Schafberg is truly impressive.
Be aware though that the train doesn't operate all year long.
For those of you, who like us, visit this region when the cog railway isn't operating, here is another great idea.
Grab some tickets for the Wolfgansee ferry. Sit back and enjoy the beautiful peaceful ride all the way to the end of the lake at St Gilgen.
St Gilgen is another beautiful town and if you have the time, it is worth strolling around here. But before you do, head over to the St Gilgen Cable Car (Zwölferhorn Mountain Cable Car) and enjoy a ride to the top for some truly stunning views over the lake and mountains.
Finish your day with ice cream and a casual boat ride back to St Wolfgang.
We hope you enjoyed our video on what to do at Lake Wolfgang in one day.

St. Wolfgang, Austria
The market town of Sankt Wolfgang (Austria) is located in a privileged place at the North end of Lake Wolfgang (Wolfgangsee), at the foot of the Schafberg mountain. From St. Wolfgang a cog railway leads up onto the 1,768m high Schafberg. It is the steepest steam Cog Railway in Austria and covers a distance of 6km in approximately 45 minutes. Once you arrive at the peak of the Schafberg, a gorgeous view of the Lake opens up along with the surrounding villages of Strobl and St. Gilgen. One of Austria’s most enchanting lake resorts, St. Wolfgang enjoys an especially picturesque setting on the shores of Lake Wolfgang. It is a place of great character, where pretty painted houses and shops line the narrow cobbled streets, and most evenings the town comes alive with open-air brass band concerts and frequent indoor classic and operetta concerts. St. Wolfgang is also an ideal base for excursions to nearby Salzburg and the UNESCO village of Hallstatt. In the pilgrimage church of St. Wolfgang is one of the most famous gothic altars in the world, carved by Michael Pacher. In addition, a visit to the world famous “White Horse Inn” is a must, the backdrop of one of the most successful operetta of all time. Choose a holiday to St Wolfgang to explore a beautifully rustic market town on the shores of the Wolfgangsee lake, known for its picturesque lakefront church.
