Austria's #Salt Lake District (Salzkammergut) is located at the junction of the Austrian states of Salzburg, Upper Austria and Styria. It is located at the foot of the #Alps. There are 76 large and small glacial lakes located among the mountains. It is the most magnificent in Austria. This beautiful area has been a favorite place for hunting and vacationing for princes and nobles since the Middle Ages. It is still a popular vacation spot for Europeans in summer, and there are many campsites and B&Bs. The Austrian Bolt driver I met during the trip proudly said that his lake area is more beautiful than Kingsee Lake, and that Germans come to Austria for vacation! . #St.Wolfgang (St.Wolfgang) and #St.Gilgen (St.Gilgen) are both small towns on the lakeside of #Wolfgangsee. The former is the largest town on Lake Wolfgang and the latter is Mozart. The hometown of my mother and sister. You can take a boat to travel between the two sides and visit Lake Wolfgang. . 🌟 How to play? In addition to taking a boat trip, it is recommended to hike around the lake to enjoy the lake and mountains up close and feel the slow pace of the countryside. I recommend the Bürglstein Rundwanderweg route. It’s easy to walk and there are shade trees along some sections. Like it~ . 🌟 How to get there? Of course, self-driving is the first choice🚗 Taking #Salzburg as the starting point and ending point, and taking a tour of the lake area, here are some references for this itinerary: Salzburg car rental 👉 The secret place in the mountains and forests on the German-Austrian border 👉 #Königssee 👉 #Berchgasten 👉 #St.Wolfgang 👉 #HASITUAT 👉 Return the car in Salzburg . 🌟 Where to stay? If you are familiar with European historical films and dramas, your first choice is the White Horse Hotel, a four-star hotel with over 500 years of history. It is located next to St. Wolfgang Pilgrimage Church. It is the setting for the operetta "Im weißen Rössl" (1930) and the movie "The White Horse Inn". "(1960)" background, the red building and the white horse on the exterior wall are its distinctive features. Unfortunately, it was difficult to find a room, so I didn't get the chance to stay this time. . If you are looking forward to a high-end resort feel, your first choice is the four-star Hotel Seevilla Wolfgangsee. It is in the first row on the lakeshore, with unobstructed views of the lake and mountains. It also has an outdoor swimming pool that leads directly to the lakeside (in terms of scenery, I think it is better than the White Horse Hotel). . If you love nature and have a limited budget, the Berau am Wolfgangsee where you are staying this time is a good choice. The advantage is that dinner is served late (most restaurants in the lake area have variable opening hours or close early), and it is close to the Bürglstein Rundwanderweg trailhead and the lakeside grassland outside the B&B. We also saw several campervans, so it should be a popular camping spot in the summer. . #Europe #Austria #Salzkammergut #Wolfgangsee #MMPlayAustria

#Hiking Schafberg Cog Railway. It boasts about 100 years of history and tradition. Usually, it runs to the top of Schafberg, but during the winter season from October to March, the Schafberg Cog Railway is closed due to the temperature and snow. It is also closed during other seasons or special circumstances. When I visited Schafberg, the train only ran to the middle. So I got off the train halfway up the mountain and walked hard up to the top. I climbed the mountain along the railroad where the train did not run, but surprisingly, there were no hikers, so it was an enjoyable hike. #Schafberg #Cog Railway #Austria Travel

Saint Wolfgang, located in upper Austria holds some of the most paradise like view on earth. The natural beauty has captured my hearts and I cannot stop staring and the beauty of the lake. There is no other word to describe this other than: Amazing. #merrychristmas #merrychristmas

#summervacay #europetrip #thingstodo Wandering through the idyllic township of St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut, I stumbled upon one of the most captivating façades of my summer: Poll’s Kaiserterrasse – Gourmet Restaurant im Weissen Rössl. Though I didn’t dine inside, the sheer elegance of the building made me stop in admiration—more than once. Set right by Lake Wolfgangsee, the building’s crisp white exterior, traditional Austrian gables, and wrought-iron balconies instantly transported me into a romantic alpine fairytale. The lakeside terrace, perfectly aligned with the turquoise water, framed a picture of refined relaxation and quiet grandeur. Even without entering, this landmark speaks volumes about Austria’s architectural heritage—where hospitality, history, and harmony with nature converge effortlessly. It was a moment where the journey was the destination: camera in hand, feet wandering freely, simply taking it all in. Travel tip: Early mornings offer the best light for photography and fewer crowds. Stroll along the lake promenade for postcard-worthy views, and don’t miss the other timber-clad buildings tucked between alleyways.

#summervacay #europetrip #australia #naturalwonders Riding the cogwheel railway up Schafberg Mountain is like ascending into a dream. Nestled in Austria’s stunning Salzkammergut lake district, the journey is already half the magic—with panoramic alpine views unfolding at every turn. But arriving early in the summer offers a special surprise: patches of snow still crown the mountaintop, dusting the landscape in soft white against the vibrant green valleys below. At the summit, the world feels both vast and still. You’re surrounded by some of Austria’s most beautiful lakes—Wolfgangsee, Mondsee, and Attersee—shimmering like blue glass. The 360° view is one of the most breathtaking in the region, ideal for photography and quiet awe. A warm drink from the mountaintop inn tastes even better with cool alpine air on your skin. Travel Tips: • Getting there: Board the historic SchafbergBahn cog railway from St. Wolfgang (runs May–October). • Dress smart: Even in summer, bring layers—it’s chilly at the top. • Arrive early: For smaller crowds and a chance to still spot snow.

🔷Day 2 Road Trip Itinerary: After concluding the Melk visit at noon, we headed to Admont to explore a world-famous library in this small town, reputed as the largest monastic library globally. The 130km journey from Melk to Admont offered breathtaking scenery, making it an ideal route for a road trip. In the afternoon, we arrived in Admont and checked into Hotel Spirodom Admont, located just a 10-minute walk from Admont Abbey. Main highlights of Admont: 1. Admont Abbey Founded in 1074, it's one of Central Europe's oldest Benedictine monasteries, featuring a blend of Baroque and Gothic architectural elements. 2. Admont Library The world's largest monastic library stretches 70 meters long, housing approximately 70,000 precious volumes including over 1,400 manuscripts and 530 incunabula. This Baroque masterpiece showcases ceiling frescoes that harmonize Enlightenment ideals with religious themes. Before closing time, we visited the abbey's backyard pond and witnessed a spectacular sunset glow. 🔷Day 3 Road Trip Itinerary: Departing from Admont to Grundlsee (about 70km), we began our Austrian lake district tour. The continuous scenic views along the way felt like moving through a painting. 1. Grundlsee Located in Salzkammergut near Bad Aussee, this 4 sq.km lake at 708m altitude serves as habitat for various fish species. Surrounded by Bergawald snow-capped mountains with emerald-green waters and lush forests, it resembles a paradise. We recommend Seehotel Seeblick Monti here, offering premier western lakeshore views. 2. Bad Aussee Just 5.5km from Grundlsee, you can leisurely explore Bad Aussee town and enjoy afternoon tea at local cafes or restaurants. 3. St. Wolfgang Traveling about 70km (1 hour) from Bad Aussee, we reached Hotel Peter in St. Wolfgang. This family-run traditional hotel sits at the entrance of the town's pedestrian zone right by Wolfgangsee Lake, featuring a scenic terrace with panoramic views of the lake and mountains.

#MayTravelSupport #AustriaTravel #EuropeTravel The full name of the composer Mozart is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! There is also an anecdote that when Mozart's mother lived in St. Gilgen, she loved Wolfgang so much that she added Wolfgang to Mozart's name! Isn't it so romantic?🥹

1️⃣ About Driver's License 🪪 Used an EU driver's license Regarding whether a Chinese driver's license + translation can be used to rent a car in Austria, there are many discussions online. It's said that since last year, Chinese driver's licenses are no longer recognized. To summarize, the following situations may occur when renting a car with a Chinese license: ❶ Directly unable to rent a car in Austria ❷ Rent a car in neighboring countries (e.g., Germany, Hungary) and drive to Austria: If checked by police ➡️ Driving without a license, hefty fine If not checked ➡️ Narrow escape 2️⃣ About the Route Starting from Munich, mainly visiting the Austrian Lake District: Gosau ➠ Hallstatt ➠ St. Wolfgang ➠ Salzburg ➠ Munich 3️⃣ About Car Rental Pick-up and drop-off in Munich. When renting, there’s an option to select whether you’re traveling to other countries. Choosing an additional country costs an extra €40. 4️⃣ About Highway Vignette Driving on Austrian highways requires purchasing a vignette in advance. Don’t panic if you don’t have one—you can usually buy it at the border. I realized I’d crossed into Austria from Germany when I saw a map notification, and then spotted a gas station nearby where I bought the vignette for €12.5, valid for 10 days. Just stick it on the left side of the windshield! Heard the fine for not having one is hefty. 5️⃣ About Parking The places I visited were popular tourist spots, so parking near attractions was convenient. For busy areas, there might be multiple lots (e.g., P1-P4)—if one is full, just try the next. Generally, you take a ticket upon entry, pay at a self-service machine when leaving, and scan the code to exit. 6️⃣ About Fueling Self-service: grab the nozzle, fill up (it stops automatically), then go to the counter, tell them the pump number, and pay. PS: Noticed fuel prices along the way—Germany is more expensive than Austria, and highways are pricier than cities. The difference can be as big as 145:210. 7️⃣ About Returning the Car Refuel before returning. Mine was a self-service drop-off, but some rental companies require staff assistance. 8️⃣ About Police Since I was mostly in rural areas, I hardly saw any police. Only near the end, on the way back to Germany, I spotted two officers standing on a traffic island in the middle of the road. They weren’t stopping anyone—no idea what they were up to.

The sweltering summer heat in the city can be overwhelming. Are you longing for a cool retreat where your mind and body can find tranquility amidst nature? Along the German-Austrian border lies a picturesque summer paradise—Germany’s Königssee, Ramsau’s Magic Forest, and Austria’s St. Wolfgang.

The most beautiful cliff in Europe, highly recommended! 🕑 Recommended: 2–3 days; 1 day relaxing in the hotel + 1 day walking or boating around the lake + 1 day exploring the mountain 🚗 Transportation: Besides driving, you can also take a train from Vienna (3+ hrs) or Salzburg (1+ hr). 🚂 Attractions: The main attraction is Schafberg, which is about 1,800 m above sea level. You can take the classic steam train to the top in about 30 minutes, or hike up the mountain. You can also take the train halfway up the mountain and get off at one of the 2–3 stations along the way. Buy a round-trip ticket with a 3–4 hour interval. 🌄 SchafbergBahn Built in 1893, it is still the steepest cog railway in Austria! This industrial marvel defies gravity with a maximum slope of 24%, and the wisdom of the steam age is forever engraved on the cliffs of the Alps. When the laughter of Maria and the children in The Sound of Music crosses the screen, this legendary railway becomes the most moving cultural landmark in the Salzkammergut Lake District. In the movie The Sound of Music, Maria takes the children on this train to the top of the mountain. 🚆 Riding this "veteran cog railway" is both relaxing and enjoyable! You can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, and have an unprecedented mountain experience! When the train passes through the Donalram Ridge at a graceful speed of 28 km/h, hold your camera tight: ahead, 11 sapphire-like lakes are looming in the sea of clouds. 📸 🏞 In 35 minutes, you can reach the top of the 1,783 m mountain. Standing at the highest point of the "Alpine Observation Deck," you can enjoy a 180-degree panoramic view: the snow-capped peaks of the Hohe Tauern Mountains are like the thrones of the gods, the glaciers of the Grossglockner reflect the light of diamonds, and the Wolfgangsee and Mondsee meander into poetry. At dusk, the twilight covers the entire lake district with a golden veil. Stay at the oldest hotel in Austria, and when the morning light penetrates the sea of clouds and illuminates the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the sunrise ceremony of the entire Alps. It's amazing! 😍 🌄 Choose a seat on the right side of the train, so you don't miss the stunning view of Lake St. Gilgen! 🏨 Don't forget that there is an old Austrian mountain hotel here! Spend the night at 1,783 m, and enjoy the beautiful sunset and sunrise! 🌅🌄 🍲 Food: There are 3 restaurants on the top of Schafberg, and they are all good. You can have a bowl of soup and coffee. In St. Wolfgang, there are two recommended restaurants: a Hungarian restaurant called Dorf-Alm, and a Spanish restaurant called Genussschmied.

Located on the shores of Lake Wolfgang in eastern Salzburg, Austria, St. Wolfgang is like a bright pearl, exuding a charming glow. Legend has it that this was once the place of practice for a monk named Wolfgang. The axe he threw guided the construction of the church, and Wolfgang was canonized as a saint because of his faith, and the town was named after him. Stroll through the quaint streets of the town, with the Gothic pilgrimage church, exquisite wooden houses, flower-filled balconies, and charming cafes, every corner is intoxicating. Take the mountain train that opened in 1893, climb the Schafberg Mountain, and overlook the panoramic view of the Alps and the glacial lake, as if you are in a fairy tale world.

Austria is like a combination of Xinjiang and Sichuan, with mountains, forests, and lakes, which can satisfy the homesickness of international students. The key is that the cost of living is not high, making it a perfect alternative to Switzerland. - Recommended attractions ⬇️ 1️⃣ Gosau The town is centered around a church ⛪️, making it a great place for photos. The nearby Gosau Lake is Sissi's favorite vacation spot ⛱️. Here, you can take a cable car, go for a walk, and more. It's very relaxing. 😌 🏠 Accommodation: Many small villas here welcome guests. - 2️⃣ Hallstatt Although many places look better on sunny days, I personally think that rainy days better showcase the beauty of Hallstatt. After all, the rainy weather adds to the atmosphere. It's also beautiful in winter. ⚠️ There are more tourists here. - 3️⃣ St. Wolfgang Crosses, the Gates of Heaven, and the filming location of The Sound of Music... There are so many classic photo spots here. There aren't many tourists, but the scenery is even better. I recommend taking a boat ride here. You can also take photos, but remember to stay safe. 💡 Recommended seats on the train: left side going up, right side going down. - It's generally hot in Europe recently, but it's cooler in the towns, and you can have fun.

#EuropeanTravel 📍Markt 35, 5360 St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut 🕖 On-site reservation available ✔️Weather check required 💰 138 euros for 2 people ✅ 30 minutes on a cruise, 1 hour round trip on a mountain train, 1 hour to the summit recommended The Schafberg Mountain Train is a must-see attraction in Austria. You can enjoy the cruise + mountain train by purchasing a combo ticket. You can purchase a combo ticket next to the ice cream shop in front of the cruise ship dock. They also tell you to be careful because you won't be able to see anything when the weather is bad. In my case, I went to Five Fingers, so 1 hour at the summit was enough, but the 2:30-4-25 train was the fastest train, so I had no choice but to stay for 2 hours.

Austria's mountain railway ⛰️! We took the Schafbergbahn to see the spectacular view ♡ We took the ferry on Lake Wolfgang and arrived at the railway station! We bought a combination ticket for the round trip ferry and the train ticket online on the day, and the system was to scan the QR code. This is the Schafbergbahn, the steepest railway in Austria. If you sit on the left side of the train when going up, you can feel the climb from the ground. By the way, I recommend sitting on the left side when going down, as the view is different! We headed for the 1,783m mountain, and slowly climbed up the bright red train for 40 minutes while enjoying the view 🚃 The view at the top was simply spectacular...!! ! ! ! It was truly heaven. This beauty without any editing. You can also walk to the top of the mountain, known as the Gate of Heaven, but if you are not wearing hiking boots, it is dangerous so please refrain from doing so◎ I took a walk on the mountain and had lunch at a restaurant on the mountaintop with schnitzel and beer🍻 💰Price per person: €51.40 (railway only) Price in June → Price changes in winter. 💰Price per person: Ticket including boat fare €69.40 Combo Ticket train and ship from St.Gilgen, Adult There is a QR code at the ticket booth, so I bought my ticket there, but it gets crowded from July onwards, so I recommend buying it in advance. #Travel with Me #Europe Travel #Austria #Schafbergbahn

The most beautiful scenery is on the road ~ the Austrian Alps are beautiful!

I was extremely lucky to arrive at St. Wolfgang just in time for the end of the train going up the mountain. St. Wolfgang is a small town. The residents live and live around a small lake in the mountains. The scenery is beautiful and there are few people. It is quiet and peaceful. As the only second-level entertainment for arriving tourists, taking this small train will slow down. Slowly drive upward for about 15 minutes while looking at the scenery along the way to the top station. You can overlook the rolling mountain scenery of the entire St. Wolfgang district. At this time, there is snow on the top of the mountain but it is not too cold. As long as you are there in time Catch the last train before going down the mountain. You can visit, take photos, and drink coffee on the top of the mountain.
