Sankt Gilgen is situated in the north-western shore of the lake Wolfgangsee, close to Strobl and to the Upper Austrian municipality of St. Wolfgang. Boats from St. Gilgen sail around the Wolfgangsee, providing transport and views of the surrounding mountains. In 2005 St. Gilgen was promoted as the `Mozart Village` by the Wolfgangsee Tourist Board. Although Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart never visited St. Gilgen as he had intended to, his grandfather worked in the town, his mother was born in St. Gilgen, and his sister Nannerl moved there after her marriage. The village now boasts a first-class international school, the St. Gilgen International School. Salzkammergut, Austria, Europe.
