View of St. Wolfgang and Lake Wolfgang
Highlight • Viewpoint
"Around 1820, the renowned landscape painters of the Biedermeier era discovered the Salzkammergut region and, consequently, Lake Wolfgang. One of their most famous representatives was Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, who left behind some beautiful paintings of this area. St. Wolfgang and the lake were particularly popular subjects for paintings from the Calvary Hill, which is why this path soon became known as the Painters' Trail." Source: Wolfgangsee Tourism
This spot is one of many "Gschmå-Platzln" (cozy spots) around Lake Wolfgang. They are located in particularly scenic locations and always offer a magnificent view. "Gschmå" means cozy and is now often equated with "hygge."

The view out of the window: well. The last few days anyway a lot on the mountain. But what is that? Does it look blue between the clouds? Doesn't matter. It's the weekend, Ronja is annoying me: she wants out!

It went up permanently for 1.5 hours and then just down for almost 2 hours. The elevation profile looks quite moderate, but up and down it was quite steep in places. After the "flat" week at the Baltic Sea, our legs were really heavy.
