There are several ways to plan a visit to Strobl: the broad, gently sloping lakeshore with its extensive natural bathing beaches makes the water a focal point. Historic buildings, a bronze sculpture and a cultural initiative for contemporary art add to the cultural offerings. There are also protected wetlands, a wildlife park and a seasonal boat connection across Lake Wolfgangsee. Choose your focus based on how much time you have and whether you are more interested in the lakeshore, culture or nature.

Lakeshore and landscape

The Strobl lakeshore is broad and gently sloping, and its natural bathing beaches are extensive. Wasswiese natural beach has a sunbathing lawn and a bathing jetty. Swimming access is seasonal, so take the time of year into account when planning if you would like to include a day at the beach.

The Blinklingmoos nature reserve offers a different kind of landscape: its mosaic includes raised bog areas, fens, wet meadows and hay meadows. Wasswiese and Blinklingmoos therefore offer different nature experiences—time at the beach on the one hand, and a protected landscape with various wetland habitats on the other. You can choose whether to focus your stay more on the lakeshore or the landscape, depending on your interests.

Architectural history and culture

The parish church of Saint Sigismund in Strobl was built between 1758 and 1761. Beside the municipal office stands a bronze sculpture of “Hans III Strobl.” The Aberseer Lipphaus Local History Museum at Breitenbachbauer in Strobl dates from around 1500. The Lipphaus was initially used as a residence, later converted into a museum, and opened in 1978 as the “Aberseer Lipphaus Local History Museum.”

The Laimeralm is another historic highlight: it is an original Alpine hut dating from the 17th century. As a cultural initiative, the Deutschvilla presents and promotes contemporary art. Together with the church and the Lipphaus, the cultural offering ranges from architectural history to contemporary art. A cultural walking tour of Strobl takes around 30 minutes; route details may change, so check them before your visit.

Nature experiences and planning your time

Visitors to Kleefeld Wildlife Park can see red deer, fallow deer and ibex. Also within the wildlife park, the bee trail takes around an hour to walk and is suitable for strollers. This gives you two different time frames to choose from: around 30 minutes for the cultural walking tour of Strobl and about an hour for the bee trail. The trail’s suitability for strollers may also be useful when planning.

The Postalm, a nearby excursion area, lies about 12 km above Strobl on Lake Wolfgangsee. It has numerous hiking trails and many Alpine huts. This offers a different focus from a visit to the gently sloping lakeshore: you can plan around the hiking trails and Alpine huts rather than treating every experience as part of one continuous program.

Your stay and the boat connection across the lake

You can plan your day accordingly and set aside time for individual interests instead of trying to fit every activity into the same day.

The WolfgangseeSchifffahrt connects St. Gilgen, Strobl and St. Wolfgang seasonally. If you plan to use the boat service to visit these places, check the timetable for your travel dates. This lets you include the connection in your plans without relying on a specific departure time or fixed itinerary.
