Itinerary
Start your day of discovering the lake district of Salzburg by meeting your local guide at your hotel in Salzburg. Your journey begins with a drive along country roads with several stops at some hidden gems on the way to the emerald green Fuschlsee (lake Fuschl).
Once you have seen the first lake, continue along the lakeside road to St. Gilgen, where you can stop for a picture of St. Gilgen with the Wolfgangsee in the background before heading into the town centre.
After exploring St Gilgen, the birthplace of Mozart's mother, your journey takes you to the next highlight of the day, St Wolfgang. St Wolfgang is one of the most beautiful lakeside towns in the Lake District and is famous for its Christmas Market. After exploring the town you can stop off at the Restaurant im Weissen Rössel, which has a terrace overlooking the lake. Weather permitting, you can take the rack-railway to the top of the Schafberg for the views (and lunch, if you like) from a 6000ft mountain.
From 18 April to around 3 November you can take the boat from St Wolfgang back to St Gilgen for a different view of the area. Your guide will pick you up in St. Gilgen after the boat ride.
After eight hours of exploring one of Austria's most beautiful areas, your private tour ends with a drop off at your hotel in Salzburg.

About Salzburg
Salzburg, birthplace of Mozart, is a baroque city on the Salzach River beneath a hilltop fortress, with the Alps at its edge.
The old town, on the left bank of the Salzach, is a UNESCO World Heritage site of baroque church domes, narrow lanes and arcaded courtyards, built on the salt trade and presided over by the Hohensalzburg Fortress. Mozart was born in 1756 in a yellow house on Getreidegasse, now a museum, while Residenzplatz and Domplatz hold the cathedral and the palaces of the prince-archbishops.
Top-ranked sights in Salzburg: Mirabell Palace and Gardens (Schloss Mirabell und Mirabellgarten), Hellbrunn Palace (Schloss Hellbrunn), Nonnberg Abbey (Stift Nonnberg).
