Swimming beach located directly on the promenade. Not a classic beach with a lawn, but rather with a large wooden platform from which stairs lead into the water.

Arrival by car, parked in the first parking lot coming from Strobl. There were sufficient parking spaces available. Minimum parking duration is 24 hours and costs approx. 5 Euros. From the parking lot, you immediately reach the promenade which runs directly along the lake and offers beautiful views over the lake and the mountain world. The town center of St. Wolfgang is densely built with narrow streets where masses of people move at certain times. The landmark is certainly the White Horse Inn (Weiße Rössl) right in the center, which gained worldwide fame from the Peter Alexander films.
