Hallstatt is located pretty far away from any relatively big city in Austria, and it takes 3.5 hours to get there from Vienna or 1.5 hours from Salzburg. And still, plenty of people are rushing to visit it.
Hallstatt is located on a lake, which looks like a mirror. You can also have a ride in a small ship around the lake and enjoy the beautiful views and escape the crowds at least for an hour.
Considered to be one of the oldest still inhabited settlement in Europe, Hallstatt is a UNESCO heritage site and an important Austrian tourist attraction.
Also known as “the Pearl of Austria”, Hallstatt is truly spectacular, due to its “guardian of the Hallstättersee lake” status and the beautiful mountains surrounding it.
Hallstatt is all about strolling and walking around, visiting the traditional shops, buying souvenirs.
It’s also about chilling in the beer gardens drinking tasty Austrian tap beer and pastries. Hallstatt is really small, and you can see the entire city in a couple of hours.
You can visit the beautiful churches of Hallstatt and visit one of the most beautiful cemeteries, located almost on top of the city and the entrance is through the church.
This is definitely the cemetery with the best view, I’ve ever seen.
Hallstatt became rich in Austria few hundreds of years ago because of its salt mines. Hallstatt has the oldest salt mine in the world and it’s definitely worth visiting.
There are many things to do in Hallstatt and we will only name a few: boating, hiking, surfing, visiting the salt mines and the ice caves. During the summer, FKK nude beach is very popular.
Getting there is possible by train. The Hallstatt station is south of Bad Ischl and one stop north of Obertraun; it is on the east bank of the Hallstatt Lake and consist of just a boat dock next to the tracks.
A regular ferry service will meet each arriving train and take you to the town across the lake.
One of the best views of Hallstatt is from this ferry ride across the lake, especially in the morning when the sun is shining on the town.
