Schafberg is a mountain in the Austrian state of Salzburg. Its height is 1783 metres. Situated within the Salzkammergut mountain range of the Northern Limestone Alps the Schafberg rises at the shore of a lake called Wolfgangsee. In summer a rack railway opened in 1893, the "Schafbergbahn", runs from the small town of Sankt Wolfgang at the shores of the Wolfgangsee to the summit. The peak offers a panoramic view of the Salzkammergut mountains and lakes and is also the site of a hotel ("Schafbergspitze"), established in 1862.
