Featured in the film, "The sound of music", the lower station is located in the east of St. Wolfgang (in the state of Upper Austria), in front of Wolfgangsee. A great family day out with stunning views.

The SchafbergBahn is the steepest cogwheel railway in Austria. Once on the top, magnificent Alpine views and warm Austrian hospitality beckon. You can also walk to the Top, but it's very strenuous!

Probably the most famous hike and a very special highlight is the ascent of the Schafberg. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, you can also enjoy the wonderful lake panorama using the historic cogwheel train.

The SchafbergBahn is the steepest cogwheel railway in Austria. Since 1893 mighty steam locomotives have powered their way from the lake-side base station in St. Wolfgang to the 1783 m high summit of the Schafberg. The SchafbergBahn allows every visitor to conquer the mountain in comfort and style, making the entire journey an unforgettable experience! Trains are in service from May through to the end of September. Once on the top, magnificent Alpine views and warm Austrian hospitality beckon. Visit the Hotel Schafsbergspitze, Austria’s oldest mountain inn, originally dating from 1862. From the top you may see numerous Alpine lakes and the Dachstein glacier.
