Amazing St Wolfgang Schafberg Mountain Cog Railway Day Trip From Salzburg Austria 4k

Join me on this amazing St Wolfgang Schafberg mountain cog railway day trip from Salzburg, Austria. The Schafberg mountain is in the beautiful Salzkammergut resort region of Austria and the Schafberg cog railway, the steepest cog railway in Austria, at St Wolfgang has been in operation since 1893. On this journey we also take the fabulously scenic St Gilgen to St Wolfgang ferry across Wolfgangsee Lake, which is one of the best known lakes in the Salzkammergut resort region. At St Wolfgang we take the memorable Schafberg cog railway to the top of the Schafberg mountain. Once at the top of the Schafberg mountain we explore what the mountain has offer and its many astonishing views, including getting away from the crowds and climbing to the top of the precipitous Spinnerin. Schafberg (Salzkammergut) Schafberg (1,783 m) is a mountain in the Austrian state of Salzburg. Situated within the Salzkammergut Mountains range of the Northern Limestone Alps, the Schafberg rises at the shore of Wolfgangsee Lake. Schafberg Cog Railway The Schafberg Railway, Schafbergbahn in German, is a metre gauge cog railway in Upper Austria and Salzburg leading from Sankt Wolfgang im Salzkammergut up to the Schafberg. With a total length of 5.85 km it gains 1190 vertical meters. Construction of the Schafberg Railway commenced in 1892 and operations begun during the following year. It is owned by Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and operated by the local company SchafbergBahn und Wolfgangsee Schifffahrt (SLB), part of the Salzburg AG group. Lake Wolfgang Ferry The WolfgangseeSchifffahrt ferries have been sailing between St. Wolfgang, St. Gilgen, and Strobl since 1873. The fleet consists of six motorized vessels, running daily from May until October, as well as on weekends during Advent, in springtime, and at Easter. Boat landings are located at St. Gilgen, Fürberg, Ried/Falkenstein, Schafbergbahn, St. Wolfgang, Geschwendt and Strobl. The ferry ride from St. Gilgen to St. Wolfgang takes about 45 minutes on Wolfgangsee Lake, with beautiful views of the lakeside villages and towns before arriving at the pier at St. Wolfgang. Wolfgangsee Lake Wolfgang, Wolfgangsee in German, is a lake in Austria that lies mostly within the state of Salzburg and is one of the best known lakes in the Salzkammergut resort region. The municipalities on its shore are Strobl, St. Gilgen with the villages of Abersee and Ried as well as the market town of St. Wolfgang in the state of Upper Austria. The town and the lake are named after Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg, who, according to legend, built the first church here in the late 10th century. #schafberg #schafbergbahn #salzkammergut #lake #salzburg #austria #walkthrough #walkingtour #panorama #views #mountains #4k #solo #solotravel #hiking ☕ Buy me a coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thehikin...
