Austria’s must-visit attraction—Schaffberg!

Located in the picturesque town of St. Wolgang, Schaffberg is 1,783 meters above sea level, giving you a 360-degree view of more than 100 majestic peaks in the Alps and the seven famous lakes in Austria. In the famous movie "The Sound of Music", this is where Maria sings in the opening scene. It is also where she takes her seven children up the mountain on a small train, plays the guitar on the lawn🎸, and teaches the children to sing the beautiful "Doremi" 》, enjoy the special scene of happiness and freedom. Schaffberg can be said to be a condensation of the lakes and mountains in the Alps. You only need to spend an hour or two wandering on the top of the mountain, taking photos, or sitting on the grass to admire the lakes shining like sapphire on this land, and you will be able to enjoy the rare scenery. A wonderful experience in words. ✨📸💙 Tip time: 1️⃣ Want to take the Schaffberg train to the top? First, search online for "Schafberg Bahn". This is the starting point of the small train and there is a parking lot nearby for you to use. 2️⃣ The small train only runs from April 29th to November 1st every year, and will be suspended in winter. So, please avoid winter time! 3️⃣ The one-way fare of the small train is 33.6 euros, while the round-trip fare is 47.6 euros. When purchasing a round-trip ticket, be sure to inform your return time. If you just want to go to the mountains and take photos, an hour is enough. If you want to wander around a bit longer and take a coffee break at the cafe on the top of the mountain, plan at least two to three hours. Here’s a tip, if you’re not sure how long you’ll be on the mountain, buy a return ticket at a longer interval. If you finish shopping in advance, as long as there is space on the return train, the flight attendant will help you modify the time and you can get on the train directly. 4️⃣ There are two stops on the small train going up the mountain. The middle station is for tourists to get off and hike to the top. If you don’t want to hike, please continue to the terminal station and then get off. 5️⃣ As a reminder, please sit on the left side when going up the mountain, because the scenery on the left is more magnificent and beautiful! 🌟🚂🏞️💙

🇦🇹Highly recommended of the most recommended travel destinations 💚Schafberg💚 If you are traveling to Salzburg, Austria, I definitely recommend going to Schafberg! I also took a day off from my trip to Salzburg to Schafberg. I played in Salzburg again in the eveningㅎㅎㅎ I went from Salzburg to Schafburg by changing from a bus to a cruise ship! The colors of the river I saw from the cruise ship were so beautiful... And the view from the top of Schafberg by taking the mountain train was so picturesque that it was amazing and touching... Schafberg, where you can see and feel such beautiful nature, is the best... #AustriaTravel #LifeTravelDestination #WithNature #SalzburgTravel #Schafberg #LifeShotPlace #2019Travel #NextTimeHere #Austria #Nature #ViewRestaurant
