Hiking

The ride on the old steam locomotive is very cool. And fun

Hiking

A ride on the cogwheel railway up the Schafberg is a unique experience. The Schafberg Railway, which runs from the valley station in St. Wolfgang to the summit of the Schafberg, is the steepest cogwheel railway in Austria. It began operating in 1893.

Hiking

Look from the outside and don't ride. €80 for 2 people for one ride. Completely overcrowded and you can't see anything. Walking is better and the train looks beautiful as you drive past 👌.
