The Gschmå Platzl on the Zwölferhorn is a truly special retreat high above St. Giglen. Here, in this beautiful, sun-drenched spot, a comfortable lounger invites you to unwind. Lean back, relax, and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic view stretching far across the deep-blue Wolfgangsee.
Have you ever wondered how the Zwölferhorn got its name? On the information board right next to our rest stop, we reveal the secret that perfectly fits this sunny spot: When viewed from the valley town of St. Gilgen, the sun stands exactly directly overhead at 12 noon sharp. So our “Hörndl” used to serve as a giant, natural sundial for people in the past. Where better to trace this story than right here, where the sun’s rays pamper us the longest?
By the way, our lookout point is in excellent company: The Gschmå Platzl on the Zwölferhorn is part of the popular “Gschmå-Platzln” series around Lake Wolfgang. You’ll find these lovingly designed oases of well-being scattered throughout the entire vacation region. Each one is dedicated to a fascinating theme from the region and invites you to consciously enjoy nature. Set out on a discovery tour and find your own favorite spot!
