Nice place

The Attersee is the largest lake in Upper Austria and is located in the Salzkammergut. The southern shore of the lake is framed by the foothills of the Schafberg.

The southern shore of Lake Attersee belongs to the federal state of Salzburg and the municipality of St. Gilgen. It is characterized by the foothills of the Schafberg and the Höllengebirge, which fall steeply down to the lake1. The village of Burgau is located on the south bank and is bordered by the Äußeren Weißenbach and the Seeache. The Seeache is the outflow of the Attersee, which drains into the Danube via the Ager. On the south bank there are also remains of prehistoric stilt houses, which are part of the UNESCO World Heritage. The southern shore of Lake Attersee is a popular destination for cyclists, who can ride along the lake or through the surrounding forests. There are also several bathing opportunities and viewpoints on the southern shore.

The limestone boulder is heavily eroded, especially at its base, so that it protrudes approximately 1.9 m from the water rather than vertically. It has a diameter of 2.1 m at the top, but only 1.3 m at the base. The boulder bears a vertical, approximately 1.8 m high Christian stone cross, which likely gave it its name. A geocache is also located on the boulder.

The Oberburgau is located 30 kilometers east of the city of Salzburg. It is around 8 kilometers south-east of the town center of the Mondsee market on the southern shore of the Mondsee (481 m above sea level) on the narrow strip of shore at the northern foot of the Schafberg in the Salzkammergut mountains. A few meters from the Mondsee shoreline is the Kreuzstein (Mondsee), which no longer belongs to Oberburgau, but like the entire Mondsee to the market town of the same name and thus to the state of Upper Austria. Opposite rise the Mondsee Flyschberge with the Hochplett.

The difficult ascent is rewarded

Beautiful view over the lakes and mountains 🏔️

The Schafberg, with its vertical north slopes, is an extremely prominent peak. The mountain is right on the border between Salzburg and Upper Austria. You can easily reach the summit with the Schafbergbahn from St. Wolfgang or via various hiking trails.
