Golden autumn is practically at our doorstep, a season that once again reveals the astonishing magnificence of nature: One more opportunity to ride up the Schafberg and enjoy the spectacular vistas! One more opportunity to hear the water surging beneath the keel before the ship puts in for the winter. One more opportunity to spend a wonderful day with friends!
Awaiting visitors, excursioners, families, art lovers and fans of the finer things in life are a wide selection of special events and offers in combination with the SchafbergBahn cog railway, the WolfgangseeSchifffahrt ferries, the MönchsbergAufzug lift, the FestungsBahn funicular and the WasserSpiegel Museum.
Autumn is a splendid time for walks, hikes and the last summit tours of the year.

Thanks to seven boat landings around the lake, WolfgangseeSchifffahrt serves as the ideal complement to any hiking expedition. Once you are finished, the ships will carry you in complete comfort back to your original starting point.
