 [ Event information ](#ttgCollapseBeschreibung)
-------------------------------------------------

The overwhelming success of Advent at Lake Wolfgangsee can be described in four words:
**Authenticity, decoration, events, Schifffahrt (boat tours on the lake)**

 The Wolfgangsee Advent offers a mixture of local delicacies, homemade punch specialties and lovingly selected gift ideas. 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.- **Every Wednesday - "Wann's dumpa wird im Dorf"**
