The SKGLB Museum is a compact but charming museum dedicated to the narrow-gauge Salzkammergut Local Railway (SKGLB) that once connected the region's lakes and towns. Housed in the historic station building of Sankt Gilgen, the museum features original locomotives, carriages, photographs, and memorabilia. Visitors can step inside restored train cars, examine signal equipment, and learn how the railway transformed tourism and transport in the 19th and 20th centuries. Enthusiasts will appreciate the detailed models and the chance to see a steam locomotive up close. The museum is run by volunteers who are passionate about preserving this slice of local heritage.
