The residence of the oligarch on Lake Attersee, which was occupied on Saturday, is in St. Gilgen. The municipality, in turn, is located on the Wolfgangsee. This caused confusion.
The readers of “Krone” were surprised. Surely a villa in St. Gilgen am Wolfgangsee, which is also on the lake shore, should be on the Attersee? The confusion in some places was perfect. The oligarch villa in St. Gilgen-Burgau is actually located on Lake Attersee. Because: The municipality of St. Gilgen does not only have a shore on a lake.
St. Gilgen: At the Wolfgangsee, at the Attersee and at the Mondsee
“Yes, it is indeed confusing for some people. The municipality of St. Gilgen is not only located on Lake Wolfgang,” explains Mayor Otto Kloiber. There is also Unterburgau and Oberburgau. One on the Attersee, the other on the Mondsee.
Beautiful, stately houses adorn the southern shore of Lake Attersee. The lake is Upper Austrian, the shore belongs to Salzburg: the Unterburgau. It is attributable to the municipality of St. Gilgen. The squatted villa of the Russian oligarch Igor Shuvalov is one of the estates on the Burgau bank. Until now, the landlord had to pay the municipal taxes to St. Gilgen. Not to the neighbors of Weissenbach or Unterach. In whose lakes he bathed or sailed.
The Schafberg also belongs to St. Gilgen
The tip of St. Gilgen on the Mondsee is the Oberburgau. Like the rest of the community, it belongs to the Salzkammergut, but is also located in Mondseeland. However, the center of St. Gilgens no longer does this.
There is also a small hiking car park in Oberburgau. From there you can hike via the Eisenau-Alm to the Schafberg. Without encountering the large mass of tourists who attack the mountain from St. Wolfgang by train or on foot. Incidentally, the 1782 meter high peak is also located in the municipality of St. Gilgen. Another nearly 98 square kilometers. By comparison, the city of Salzburg measures no less than 65 square kilometers.
