Brunnwinkl

Highlight • Lake

Quaint place in the corner of the WOLFGANGSEE; not far from the village of St.GILGEN and can be optimally combined with a nice walk to the forest pool FÜRBERG - along the shore and with the mountain wall on the side on a narrow, idyllic path ...

Forest path on the shore of Lake Wolfgangsee

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful paths lead through the forest directly along the shore of Lake Wolfgangsee, offering repeated views of the lake's turquoise waters, glistening in the sun.

Ochsenkreuz Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

In Lake Wolfgangsee, not far from Falkenstein near St. Gilgen, lies a small island with an old cross – the so-called Oxen Cross. According to legend, a farmer was once leading his ox along the lakeshore when boulders suddenly fell. The animal was frightened and fell into the water. Although the farmer couldn't swim, he jumped after it to save his ox. A wayside shrine was erected on the island to commemorate this event.

Wedding Cross on Lake Wolfgang

Highlight • Monument

Although the path leads from Fürberg along the shore, it meanders quite nicely and also has some ups and downs, some with stairs and railings.

Fürberg Inn on Lake Wolfgang

Highlight • Restaurant

Inn and boat landing. For me often endpoint of the hike over the Falkenstein, from the Schafberg down or the lake-circumnavigation by bike.

To the Ochsenkreuz viewpoint.

Nice tour...unfortunately the boat didn't take us back because of our dangerous dog (no muzzle)...therefore a tour there and back...

May 9, 2023,Von St. Gilgen über Fürberg zum Ochsenkreuz und zum Hochzeitskreuz

A very nice, easy hike along the lake to Fürberg (suitable for prams). Continue to the Ochsenkreuz and the Hochzeitskreuz very well developed hiking trail, partly over rocky terrain and therefore suitable footwear would be recommended for this section.

May 5, 2024,Seerunde nach Fürberg

A beautiful round trip to the wedding cross just before the vertical Falkensteinwand. With Caribbean-inspired turquoise bays and clear water from Lake Wolfgang. Paragliders from the Zwölferhorn in droves.
Then stop off in Fürberg with a view of the lake. Perfect summer retreat 😊

Please don't walk as far as we did! After the wedding cross, the path basically ends... The loose leaves are like a slide, they had bad grip...

From St. Gilgen by boat to Fürberg and along the Josef-Ebner Weg to the Wedding Cross and then back to St. Gilgen on fantastically beautiful riverside paths.

A trip to Lake Wolfgangsee and the Ochsenkreuz, Wedding Cross and Enzerwinkel in autumn is a must 😀
