[2025 St. Wolfgang Attraction] Travel Guide for St.Wolfgang (Updated Mar)

St. Wolfgang is a small town on the lakeside of Wolfgang in the east of Salzburg. Legend has it that in 976, an ascetic named Wolfgang came to this place to form a spiritual relationship. According to God's instructions, Wolfgang built a church at the place where the axe fell with the axe thrown in his hand. This church is the town's landmark and symbol - the pilgrimage church. Because of Wolfgang's steadfast faith, after his death, miracles occurred frequently here, so he was canonized as a saint, and the town was named after him. Today, the small town of St. Wolfgang still attracts believers and tourists from all over the world who come in the name of the pilgrimage church. It is lined with shops of various cuckoo clocks, wooden dolls and toys, as well as restaurants and hotels. If you have time, you can take the mountaineering train opened in 1893 to the Schaffberg Mountain behind the town, where you can see the beautiful town of St. Wolfgang and the lake. The top of the mountain is also one of the locations of the movie "The Sound of Music". .
