About this place
The Wolfgangsee (also known as Abersee) straddles the border of Salzburg and Upper Austria in the Salzkammergut lake district. It's famous for the Weißes Rössl (White Horse Inn) operetta setting in St. Wolfgang and the Schafbergbahn rack railway. The FKK section near St. Gilgen on the western shore is the main naturist bathing spot on this lake.
The Salzkammergut combines the most scenic lakes in Austria — UNESCO-listed, surrounded by dramatic Limestone Alps — with a strong summer bathing culture. The Wolfgangsee FKK section at St. Gilgen offers access to the clear turquoise water the Salzkammergut lakes are known for, with mountain views toward the Schafberg.
