St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut

St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut lies along the northern shore of Lake Wolfgang, where wooded lower slopes rise behind the waterfront toward the Schafberg massif. The settlement has long been a pilgrimage centre: the parish and pilgrimage church of St. Wolfgang preserves the late-Gothic Pacher Altarpiece, made by Michael Pacher in the 15th century. Its lakeside centre is also associated with the historic Weisses Rössl hotel, the setting for the 1930 operetta Im weißen Rössl. The Schafbergbahn rack railway climbs from the village toward Schafberg, while ferries link communities around the lake.
