What is there to do in the small town of St. Wolfgang? In which country?

St. Wolfgang is about 80 kilometers southeast of Salzburg, Mozart’s hometown.

1. The St. Wolfgang Lake District is one of the 76 lakes in the Austrian Salt Lake District. The lake is 10 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide. There are long forest belts and green spaces on the lakeside. I heard that this is the most unforgettable place in the Salt Lake District. In 1965, Hollywood filmed "The Sound of Music" in this area.

2. The town of St. Wolfgang is a quiet, exquisite, leisurely, charming and unforgettable place. The town faces the blue waves of a lake and leans on the Schaffberg Mountain to the north. It is divided into two parts by an avenue. For the upper and lower parts, when we arrived, it was almost evening and the sun had faded, but the Alpine snow peaks across the lake were still bright and magnificent. The lights were on in the bars by the lake. The water was clear and there were small boats tied to the shore. Along the lakeside The trail goes up, and when you look down, you can see that there are many houses at your feet on the side near the lake; when you look up, you can see that most of the houses built in layers against the slope are small and exquisite.

3. In front of the trail, the church tower rises high from the roof. This is the most representative building in the town: St. Wolfgang Church. It is said that on Christmas Day in 972 AD, a saint named Wolfgang came here to practice spiritual practice. One day, he heard the oracle: "Throw an ax with your hand and build a church where the ax falls." So he decided to do it. With the "St. Wolfgang Church", also known as the "Pilgrimage Church", it is the center of faith and life for the residents of the town.

4. The tone of the church is white, the top of the hat-shaped tower is black, and the top is a golden ball with a golden cross. The years of previous renovations are engraved with white numbers on the black top, which is the most distinctive and distinctive symbol of this church. At the end of the trail, there are steps going down into the center of the town. The lanes in the lanes intersect, and the roads in the lanes sometimes go uphill and sometimes downhill, but the slope is not large. There are often excessive steps in places where the heights are staggered. The houses are denser than the surrounding area, with most of them having three or four floors. The most famous one is the "White Horse Hotel", which became famous overseas because of Ralph Bernardsky's operetta "The White Horse Hotel on Lake Wolfgang". . The walls of the hotel are red, the windows and door frames are white, and the wooden railings of the upstairs balcony are black, bright and elegant.
