St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut is a market town in central Austria, in the Salzkammergut region of Upper Austria, named after Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg. It is on the northern shore of Wolfgangsee lake which is close to Strobl town and St. Gilgen town. Salzburg is about a 30-minute drive from St. Wolfgang. Saint Wolfgang is at the foot of the Schafberg mountain.
St. Wolfgang’s tourist attractions include the Schafbergbahn, a rack railway that goes up to the Schafberg mountain, Hotel Weißes Rössl (the setting of the operetta White Horse Inn), and a pilgrimage church with a late Gothic altarpiece by Michael Pacher. The railway and the church are among the many St. Wolfgang locations featured in Christmas with Flicka, a 1987 American-Austrian television film starring the operatic mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade, which was shot entirely in the town and its environs.
