A relaxing hike along the lakeshore with views of the surrounding mountains and the Salzkammergut region.
From the lakeside in Strobl, you will hike a short distance along the lakeside promenade before a bridge on the left leads to the Bürglsteig Panoramaweg (No. 13). A narrow path will guide you directly between the lake and the rocks, secured with a plain wooden terrain. The so-called "Gschma Platzerl" not only invite you to take a rest, but also to enjoy the magnificent view of the lake and the fantastic panorama. A small section will lead you uphill through the forest to the road at the back of the Bürgl. To get to St. Wolfgang, keep left and follow the road “Schwarzenbach” and “Au” along the Wolfgangsee. Enjoy the walk directly along the Wolfgangsee. You will past the campsite Berau and campsite Appesbach until you reach the lake promenade Sankt Wolfgang. From St. Wolfgang, a ferry operated by WolfgangseeSchifffahrt will take you on a leisurely cruise back to Strobl.
Enjoy this nice hike through meadows and forrest and lovely views across the lake.
From the church in St. Wolfgang, you will walk west along the road as far as the crossroads by the Dorfalm. Here, keep right and, after the Försterhof, make another right. A steep lane now leads out to the Aschinger café, but before you get there the “Rieder Steig” hiking path branches off to the left, taking you gently up- and downhill to the west, eventually meeting up with the Falkensteinweg (No. 28). If you keep left here, you will drop back down to Wolfgangsee, where you will continue keeping left and, before long, reach the “Ried-Falkenstein” boat landing. Now enjoy a pleasant ride on the ship back to St. Wolfgang.
Easy hike on wide paths, 200 m elevation change, refreshment opportunity at Gasthaus Fürberg as well as several eateries in Ried.
From the church in St. Gilgen, you will hike along Mondseer Straße close to the lakeshore as far as Brunnwinkel. From there, a very beautiful path takes you right next to the lake to Gasthaus Fürberg. Continue a little bit farther, until a wide-though-steep path leads you up to the former hermitage at the church on the Falkenstein . Now more flat, you will make your way past several chapels to the Falkensteinsattel, elev. 795 m. Here, a marked hiking trail branches off, taking you to two beautiful lookout points, the “Scheffelblick” and “Aberseeblick”. From the saddle, now downhill to the village of Ried and along the shore road to St. Wolfgang. From St. Wolfgang, a ferry operated by WolfgangseeSchifffahrt will take you on a leisurely cruise back to St. Gilgen.
