Now as then, the \u201cGrande Dame of Cog Railways\u201d excites people from around the world: One of the most famous attractions in the Salzkammergut, it offers excursioners a hugely enjoyable way to reach those high-alpine elevations, with fantastic scenery and unforgettable mountain experiences guaranteed.<br>\nThe ride on the SchafbergBahn to just below the 1783 m high summit takes about 35 minutes, and you might wish it would last even longer considering the imposing views this cog railway treats you to along the way. With every vertical meter and every bend, your perspective of the world changes. At the top, 14 lakes lie right there at your feet. And in good visibility, you can gaze out all the way to the Hohe Tauern range and<br>\nthe mighty Grossglockner.<\/p>\n<p>Your journey takes you from St. Wolfgang across the provincial border between Upper Austria and Salzburg, passing through meadows and forests as far as the Dorneralm siding (elev. 1015 m). The ride continues to the Schafbergalm halt (1364 m), which has been painstakingly restored true to its historical forebear. For the last ten minutes before reaching the Schafbergspitze mountain station (1732 m), the SchafbergBahn chugs steeply uphill one last time.<\/p>\n<p>The fleet of the SchafbergBahn cog railway includes modern steam locomotives and diesel-electric locomotives, which are in daily use, as well as the nostalgic steam locomotives from the founding year, which steam up the Schafberg on special trips and events.
