About Hotel Hollweger

The elegant, family-run Hotel Hollweger brings traditional Austrian hospitality and a warm, welcoming feel to the shores of Wolfgangsee. Set in beautifully kept gardens, you can look out over the clear blue lake before heading into St Gilgen or down to the water.

Guest rooms are in either the traditional main building or the connected annexe, where they’re bright, spacious and have a modern feel. There’s also an indoor pool and spa in a separate annexe, with views across St Gilgen, the Schafberg, Wolfgangsee and the Zwölferhorn. Not a bad view while you’re having a swim.

When you’re ready to explore, you’ve got plenty of options. Walk or cycle around the lake, go sailing, take a dip in Wolfgangsee or hop on a boat to St Wolfgang and Strobl. The ferry is close by, and you can also take the Zwölferhorn cable car or ride the nearby Schafberg steam railway for some brilliant mountain views.

And don’t miss the hotel’s private lakeside lido, around a 15-minute walk away. It’s exclusively for hotel guests, with direct access to the lake, sun loungers, parasols and a lakeside sauna. There are changing facilities and toilets too, plus a rowing boat you can take out on the water. It’s the perfect spot for a swim, a snooze and forgetting what time it is.

St.Gilgen Watersports On The Lake

Spend a day on the water and get involved with a range of water sports on the lake. Looking for a gentle experience, then hire a stand-up paddle board. Looking for something more thrilling? Then you can try sailing, wind surfing, water skiing or even tubing.

St.Gilgen Bikes By Wolfgangsee

Lake Wolfgang is the perfect place to swim, paddle or relax on the shores. The clear water with 20-degree-celsius temperatures is home to a range of fish, so why not put some goggles and a snorkel on and see what you can spot.

Let the kids splash around in the shallow beach waters of the St. Gilgen Bay. Lay back on the decking catching some rays, or set up base on the lawn area under an umbrella for shade. Children love the lido area with jumping pier, sandy areas and most importantly, the onsite restaurant to grab an ice cream.

There are a few heritage museums in the local area, great for history lovers. The musical instrument museum takes you on a journey around the world, housing approximately 6,000 instruments – some of which are used in a performance too.

Take a leisurely circular ride along the lake to enjoy the views. If you're looking for looking for more of a challenge, then the Schafberg mountain tour takes you via the little Lake Schwarzensee, covering 47.3 kilometres of trail.

There are 11 golf courses located within close proximity to St. Gilgen. Why not spend a day on the nearby lake of Mondsee where you'll find one of Austria's most outstanding golf courses. With stunning blue waters in contrast with the bright green lawn, you can pitch and putt, with a break at the end in the clubhouse as a reward.

Travel down the western side of the lake to Strobl, where you can whizz down the metal summer toboggan run. You have not only one, but two runs to choose from, both at a lengthy 1.3 kilometres each – twice the fun.

Fantastic for all weathers, children will have a blast and a day full of adventure. They can bounce on the giant air cushion, paddle in the water playgrounds and get into character inside the themed buildings. Or, if they are brave enough, they can face the giant tube slide, spiralling down from 14 metres high.

Dive into nature and quietness - motorboats are banned on Fuschlsee - instead, the little Fuschlerin barge glides between the wooden jetties on the lakeshore. You can plot your own route between turquoise bays too - by kayak, rowing boat or pedalo. Any place is an excellent place for a swim – especially in the Fuschleseebad lido, where you can also rent a paddleboard.
