Austrian Alps: Wolfgangsee
Visit the Salzkammergut, Austria’s beautiful Alps region (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site). In the center of this map is the Wolfgangsee, a famous and beautiful location for both summer and ski tourism. The landscape and lake are the same as real life, but the highways and rail are not – they are there for gameplay reasons (otherwise we would have no Autobahn). The real Wolfgangsee has a small population, but it’s possible to make quite a decent-sized city (or town with many villages, as you like), all surrounded by beautiful scenery!
Try out Tomcat’s Chalet houses and theme for a real Alpine look!
The map theme Alps – Dolomites is required for this map, because oil is customized to look like snow. So, if you use a default map theme, you will have yellowy oil on top of the mountains ? I chose oil as snow so that you can also choose to use <<FSB>>Ranger’s Alpine Theme if you like, which also uses oil as snow and has some more customization than Alps – Dolomites.

– 2x highway connectors in your start square
– fast current and tons of water power to supply your city and efficiently flush away sewage
– smooth, even shorelines for nice city shorelines
– nice amount of lakeside flat land (increased flat land compared to real Wolfgangsee)
– buildable size compared to Liechtenstein map: a little less flat land (b/c of lake), a lot more smooth valley and hillside than Liechtenstein’s extreme mountains.
– many idyllic locations for little Alpine Villages
Mods used in the map creation (not required but for our reference).
– Unlimited trees (there are 206,000 out of 250,000 max on this map, but Unlimited Trees mod now has a nice “replace” option which solves current custom tree-related issues. If you don’t subscribe to all custom trees found in a map or in a save game of your own, you will get a spamming error and a flat map with just roads. Use this mod’s new option for any affected maps or game saves. Thanks to Katalyst!!
