One of the days we were in Salzburg we decided to take a trip to the WolfgangSee to take the cog railway up, or part of the way as it turned out, up the Schafbeg. This is the steepest cog railway in Austria.

To get there we had to take a bus to St Gilgen and then a ferry across to St Wolfgang. The bus, No. 150, leaves from outside the HBF and takes about 44 minutes. A 'Day Ticket' costs €15.60. The trip takes just under 50 minutes. It is a normal longer distance public bus but the scenery before we got there was pretty fantastic.

Inside the bus. It stopped at the local villages along the way. The outside temperature was often -2C in the higher areas.
