Kaiservilla at Bad Ischl, the former summer capital of the great Austro-Hungarian monarchy and associated with the Hapsburgs for at least 700 years, was described by Franz Josef I as ‘heaven on earth’ and it was here on 28th July 1914 that he signed the declaration of war on Serbia that descended into World War I – time at leisure in St Wolfgang or join our optional excursion on the Schafbergbahn, the steepest cogwheel railway in Austria that famously featured in the ‘Sound of Music’ – one way cruise from St Wolfgang to St Gilgen on picturesque Lake Wolfgangsee.
