If we had to invent a perfectly romantic landscape, it would definitely look similar to Lake Wolfgangsee. The Austrian Emperor already enjoyed the picturesque surroundings for excursions when he stayed in the neighbouring city of Bad Ischl. However, St. Wolfgang became popular in the 1930ies with the White Horse Inn musical comedy and the hotel of the same name and its illustrious guests. The rest is history. The scenery has not changed much since then. The Schafberg mountain dominates the region around Lake Wolfgangsee and the White Horse Inn still exists.St. Wolfgang is located in a privileged place at the North end of Lake Wolfgangsee, at the foot of the Schafberg mountain. The historic Schafberg Railway climbs the 1100 meters in altitude to the top of the mountain in approx. 45 minutes. Once you reach nearly 1800 meters above sea level, you can enjoy memorable views. If you look down, you can see the numerous sailing boats and wind surfers on the lake. There are also plenty of people at the shores of the lake as it is the perfect place to relax after
