4 Mountains 3 Lakes - 2nd Stage (St. Gilgen - Schafberg)

From St. Gilgen by boat, the pier is right in the center on the promenade, to Fürberg. The "Gasthof & Hotel Fürberg" with its 300-year history is a gem of hospitality on Wolfgangsee.

300 m to the right along the lake, then left, the pilgrimage path leads past charming memorial chapels to the pilgrimage chapel on the Falkensteinwand.

Along the Hochwand, it goes towards Ried until you come to a junction before reaching the first houses. Turn left onto the Rieder Steig and reach the snack station Aschinger.

Continue on path 23 over the Dorneralm and the Schafbergalm, after which we cross the Schafbergbahn track twice, up to the summit of the 1,782 m high Schafberg.

Shortcut options:

- from Fürberg towards Aich and on the path "Schafberg via Schafbergsteig" to the summit

- take the boat to St. Wolfgang

- take the Schafbergbahn from St. Wolfgang to the Schafberg

- in very bad weather, take the luggage transfer to St. Wolfgang and take a walk through the town – then take the Schafbergbahn to the Hotel Schafbergspitze

Sturdy footwear and possibly hiking poles are recommended.

Not all refreshment options are open. Remember to bring enough water and food before you start hiking. Do not expect any open huts!

Remember cash, especially at huts on Schafberg, no cards are accepted!

The sunset and sunrise at Schafberg! Getting up early is definitely worth it! Remember warm clothing, as it is often cool and windy in the early morning and evening, even in summer.
