The SKGLB Museum is a charming railway museum located in Sankt Wolfgang, dedicated to preserving the heritage of the Salzkammergut Local Railway (Salzkammergut-Lokalbahn). This narrow-gauge railway once connected the region's towns and lakes, playing a vital role in local transport and tourism. The museum houses a collection of historic steam and diesel locomotives, passenger carriages, and railway memorabilia, all lovingly restored. Visitors can climb aboard some of the trains, explore the workshop, and learn about the railway's construction and operation through photographs and artifacts. What makes this museum distinctive is its hands-on approach, you can see the engines up close and even ride a short section of track on special event days. It's a nostalgic journey back in time that appeals to both rail enthusiasts and families.
