St. Wolfgang am Wolfgangsee, a picturesque town in the Salzkammergut region, lies directly on the northern shore of Lake Wolfgang. Nestled between the lake and the mountains, the town offers an impressive backdrop with an Alpine character. The historic town center, with its narrow streets, traditional inns, small shops, and well-kept facades, invites you to stroll. Particularly famous is the pilgrimage church of St. Wolfgang, with its world-famous Gothic winged altarpiece by Michael Pacher—a significant work of art and the spiritual center of the region.
