Strobl

Strobl is a municipality on the eastern shore of Lake Wolfgang in the Salzkammergut region, situated at about 540 meters elevation. The area spreads across flat and rolling sections with forest, meadows, and direct lake access.

The name comes from Friedrich Stroblo, a 14th-century pond owner, with earliest written records from the 16th century. The Baroque church was built in the 18th century during a period of local development under Salzburg's archbishops.

The local parish church showcases late Baroque design and serves as a focal point of village life. The 18th-century architecture shapes how the town center looks and feels today.

The place offers water sports directly on the lake and hiking trails into the surrounding mountains with varying difficulty levels. It's best explored on foot or by bike to discover the village and lakeside at your own pace.

The University of Vienna operates an adult education institute here that regularly hosts international conferences and training programs. The center draws scholars and professionals from many countries who come for continuing education in this alpine village.
