Attraction: Lake Wolfgang

Also known as Wolfgangsee, this beautiful lake in the Salzkammergut area of Austria is a popular destination for resorts. Lake Wolfgang was the setting for the legend of its namesake Bishop of Regensburg, Saint Wolfgang, who in the 10th century founded a church here. He chose the destination by tossing an ax and seeing where it landed, according to legend. The towns and villages of St. Wolfgang, St. Gilgen, Strobl, Abersee and Ried surround the lake area.
