The old place is called a fairy-tale town: “gingerbread houses” are located above the lake and surrounded by mountains. The population of Hallstatt is about 1,000 people, and those who are tired of the noise of the metropolis will definitely like it here. This is a corner of peace and tranquility. Do you want to escape from everyone, but at the same time stay in a civilized world with all the benefits? This way for you.
The natural landscape of Hallstatt‑Dachstein is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. So it’s not only quiet and cozy here, but also incredibly beautiful.
How to get. From Salzburg and Vienna — by train or car. And then by ferry to the town.
When to arrive. In winter, you can stop by for a day if you are nearby at a ski resort, and in summer you can spend a full vacation in Hallstatt. It is beautiful here at any time of the year.
