Christkindlmarkts 2025...Day 4: St. Wolfgang and Strobl

We started our morning off with an amazing breakfast at the Romantik Hotel Im Weissen Rossl. It was seriously one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever had. Ken said I feel that way because they had mimomas! 

We knew we wanted to take the ferry around the lake to Strobl and possibly back to St. Gilgen to spend time at both of the markets. 

We went to the ferry station, bought our tickets, and were on our way to Strobl. The ferry timetable around the lake is very easy to navigate.

Beautiful St. Wolfgang

Arriving in Strobl

We knew Strobl was the smallest of the three villages, but it ended up being even smaller than we both were expecting. Charming, but small.

We walked from one end of town to the other very quickly. We ordered ourselves a gluhwein and walked down to the water to enjoy the view. One thing to note about the gluhwein at the three markets is that red is the only option; you buy your gluhwein mug from the first stall you visit and then pay for refills.

We ended up being quite chilly in Strobl due to the village being in the shade.

While we were waiting for the ferry to pick us up, we both decided hot chocolate would be the perfect thing to warm us up from the cold.

On the very chilly ferry ride, we decided we would forego going to St. Gilgen and instead would go soak up the sun at Hotel Peter. We loved our drinks there so much the day before, that we simply had to return!

Hot Aperol, an Austrian beer, and the sun!

The best part about the market in St. Wolfgang is how it just winds through the city.

Strolling back to our hotel to get bundled up for the night.

We spent the evening wandering around the market and getting delicious market food for dinner.

We stopped off at the lantern for one final picture.

In line for a refill of gluhwein!

Final gluhwein of the night and the last in beautiful St. Wolfgang.

We absolutely loved the market in St. Wolfgang. It was very peaceful and very local. We considered it one of our favorites. We will definitely be back!
