Austria's Lake Region

Head up to Schafberg mountain, enjoy the views of the lake region, and recharge your batteries. The Salzkammergut lake region is located in the picturesque wonderland of mountains and lakes between Upper Austria, Salzburg, and Styria. Precious few landscapes can boast so many inspiring and often breathtakingly beautiful spots, offering peace and relaxation as well as new energy. 

The Schafbergbahn, Austria’s steepest cog railway, features both modern and vintage locomotives taking visitors up to Schafberg mountain and back down, making the journey an unforgettable experience. This rail line has been transporting passengers from St. Wolfgang up to the 1,783-metre-high Schafberg since 1893.

  Giant Ice Caves in Werfen Normally, adventurers venture into the depths of the mountain in groups as part of a guided tour. Then it’s time to climb stairs: one ascends 100 vertical metres through the huge “Posselthalle”, whose floor is completely covered with ice. Columns and towers of ice line the path.  Today, however, we embark on the  adventure-filled excursion right from our living room : floating in a 360° perspective between the rock walls bearing a glittering coat of furry crystals. Enormous ice formations shimmer in turquoise in the light of magnesium torches. A narrow passageway leads straight to the “Dome”, the largest room on the tour. The ice floor is as smooth as glass in the “Ice Palace”, some 400 metres beneath the surface.
