Lake Wolfgang

see8The 11 kilometers long and up to two and a half kilometers wide lake is located on the northern border of the Alps at 539 meters above sea level. The lake is up to 114 meters deep and covers an area of 13,5 square-kilometers. In the middle of the lake the outwash plain of the river Zinkenbach narrows the lake drastically and separates it quite obviously into two halfs. The much visited lake is commonly known as Lake Wolfgangsee, but for locals also known as Lake Abersee which referes to the northern part of the lake.
      
Here you can see two Panorama photographs of Lake Wolfgangsee taken from the top of mountain Sparber and mountain Zwölferhorn. One shot was edited so it shows the routes of the Wolfgangseeschifffahrt ships as well as of the mountain Schafberg train.
