I highly recommend this classic in the Austrian Lake District! The filming location of "The Sound of Music", snow-capped mountains, lakes, meadows and other natural landscapes are all in one place. The century-old train on Schafberg is a feature, and it can go to the top of the mountain in summer. But if you love hiking, it is more recommended to go on the hiking route, where you can enjoy the scenery of Austria that is not inferior to Switzerland! Of course, the only drawback is that the ticket price of the small 🚂 is a bit high
Austria's treasure classic. The scenery is very beautiful. The weather was bad at first, and I thought I couldn't go up the mountain. After waiting for a day, I finally welcomed the long-lost sunshine☀...
Take a century-old steam train and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the three lakes on the top of Schafberg Mountain🌈

[Scenery] The lakes in Austria are all so beautiful. Green mountains and clear waters, no water entertainment, quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a relaxing vacation
[Fun] There are several famous towns around, suitable for a short stay; the mountain train can reach Schafberg; there are bicycle paths and trails along the lake, both for cycling and hiking. I also encountered diving, which seemed to be a beginner's training
[Value for money] Lake Wolfgang is a traditional holiday destination for locals, with complete facilities
Lake St. Wolfgang is located in the lake area of Salzkammergut, Austria. There are many lakes in the lake area. The most famous one is undoubtedly Hallstatt, and Lake St. Wolfgang is also one of the best. The emerald green lake water, the Schafberg beside the lake, the town of St. Wolfgang and the famous White Horse Hotel are all the highlights of Lake St. Wolfgang. You can swim and row in the lake. In addition, there are far fewer tourists than in Hallstatt. It feels very comfortable to vacation by the lake.
