Among the towns of Salzburg, Sankt Gilgen stands out for its position on the northwestern shore of Wolfgangsee, framed by the Salzkammergut’s lake-and-mountain country. The village belongs to the Wolfgangsee area, where passenger boats link the lakeside settlements of St Wolfgang, Strobl and Sankt Gilgen. Above the centre, the Zwölferhorn cable car provides access to the slopes and walking routes of the Zwölferhorn. Sankt Gilgen also has a direct Mozart-family connection: Anna Maria Mozart, the composer’s mother, was born here, while his sister Nannerl later lived in the town.
