Ferries have been running on Lake Wolfgangsee since imperial times. In 1873, the paddle steamer "Kaiser Franz Josef I." was launched. This 33-meter-long ship with its powerful paddle-wheels was regarded as a major technological achievement in its day. Now as then, this photogenic vintage ship shuttles between the towns of St. Wolfgang and St. Gilgen, and is one of the fleet's main attractions.
Kindly note that the route will only be sailed by the "Kaiser" in good weather.
