Some natural landscapes are of such extraordinary beauty that it is incredible that these places really exist. The Austrian people that we present to you today is the perfect example of this.
Much more than a charming and traditional Austrian town , Hallstatt is an idyllic postcard of a dream. Do you want to know this Austrian wonder? Well, make yourself comfortable and enjoy the trip.
In the heart of Austrian nature
Hallstatt seems like the setting of some fairy tale, but nothing could be further from the truth, because this magical town is located in the heart of Austrian nature, specifically in the mountainous district of Salzkammergut and near the Hallstätter See lake.
Its excellent location presents travelers with an absolutely unmistakable landscape that you will only find here. A village on the shores of the lake, where the traditional houses and the unmistakable Austrian architecture are reflected. And as the final touch of a dream, a frame of mountains surrounds the town of Hallstatt and tints the landscape green.
But leaving aside its magnificent nature and scenic beauty, Hallstatt also offers travelers a very traditional architecture, which is a faithful reflection of the history and culture of this country.
Some must-sees
The Salt Mine, Salzwelten Hallstatt , said to be the oldest in the world; the Main Square (Markplatz) with its flower-covered facades; the Catholic Parish Church (Pfarrkirche); the 1863 Neo-Gothic Protestant Church; and the archaeological excavations of the so-called "Hallstatt Era" (1300-400 BC).
And as the final culmination of a dream visit, do not forget to climb the Rudolf Tower , from where you can contemplate the incredible view of the town. And if you still have time, also visit the Waldbachstrub Waterfalls, which are an impressive 90-meter waterfall. A place where, by the way, many local legends are told.
