St. Gilgen, Municipality in Salzburg, Austria
Sankt Gilgen extends along the northern shore of Lake Wolfgang, surrounded by mountains of the Salzkammergut region at an elevation of 545 meters.
The town gained prominence in the 19th century when the construction of railways connected it to Vienna, transforming it into a notable tourist destination.
The municipality maintains strong connections to classical music as the birthplace of Mozart's mother, Anna Maria Pertl, influencing local festivals and performances.
The Zwölferhorn cable car provides access to mountain peaks, while regular boat services on Lake Wolfgang connect Sankt Gilgen to neighboring lakeside communities.
Local fishermen continue the centuries-old tradition of catching fish from Lake Wolfgang, supplying fresh produce to the municipality's restaurants and markets.
