Since the opening of the Wolfgangsee Advent, the amazingly imaginative decorations in particular have caused quite a stir. Giant Christmas trees, lanterns, comets, stars, candles and Swedish fireplaces in the three villages delight visitors. **Advent ship** The lake plays an important role - because the **opportunity to visit the Advent cake by boat is only available on Lake Wolfgangsee**. **Flying high ...** Also in this year's Advent program: the **SchafbergBahn**, which invites you to take a nostalgic ride to the Schafbergalm. The landmark of the Wolfgangsee Advent, the floating Advent lantern, is the highest structure in Lake Wolfgangsee at 16 meters high. A total of 0.5 kilometers of LED lights are installed on the lantern. The **nativity scene exhibition** in the Salettl at Gasthof zur Post is open during the opening hours of the St. Gilgen Advent market.
