Hiking

After the somewhat more strenuous ascent, of course, the view is tough! When the weather is clear, you really have a good view of every surrounding lake and the breathtaking area.

Mountaineering

The Schafberg, with its vertical north slopes, is an extremely prominent peak. The mountain is right on the border between Salzburg and Upper Austria. You can easily reach the summit with the Schafbergbahn from St. Wolfgang or via various hiking trails.
