Wolfgang Valley

St. Wolfgang im Wolfgangtal (2014)

The Wolfgangtal (also: Ischltal ) is a valley that separates Upper Austria and Salzburg .

Emergence

The Wolfgang valley was not formed by the Ischl , but by a glacier tongue of the Dachstein glacier , which is also known locally as the Wolfgangsee glacier . The valley begins in the west at Wolfgangsee and ends in the east at Bad Ischl . The dominant rocks in the Wolfgang valley consist of Jurassic plassen limestone.

In the Wolfgang valley and its side valleys - such as the Kienbachklamm - there are numerous sites of well-preserved rock carvings . Most of the petroglyphs are protected as archaeological monuments .
