Very Nice Travel's video: St Gilgen Austria

St. Gilgen (Sankt Gilgen) is a charming town on the shore of Lake Wolfgang (Wolfgangsee) in the Salzkammergut region of Austria. Surrounded by mountains, it lies at 545 metres. It is very popular among international tourists, who come to St. Gilgen on day trips during the summer season. The area offers a good base for walkers, hikers and sightseers. St. Gilgen is famous for its scenery, the historic town centre and the access to Lake Wolfgangsee. Mozart's mother was born here and the village has a definite historic atmosphere. In front of the Mozart Memorial House, there is a small garden with a charming fountain by Toni Schneider Manzell, depicting Mozart's mother as a small girl. The fountain on the Mozartplatz in St. Gilgen shows the young Mozart playing the violin, surrounded by birds spouting water. The fountain, which dates back to 1926, is the work of the Viennese art nouveau sculptor, Karl Wollek. This charming town can be visited as a day trip from Salzburg but would also be a great place to stay for a longer visit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUSIC: A Brighter Heart by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Artist: http://audionautix.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you like what you see, subscribe and click the bell to enable notifications for more travel videos. https://www.youtube.com/verynicetravel I really appreciate your support! ❤️❤️❤️ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTE: The content of this channel, including: videos, images and graphics must not be downloaded for the purpose of being re-uploaded to YouTube or another 3rd party website.
