Hallstatt Austria

Hallstatt, Austria's picture perfect village

Nestled between the Dachstein mountains and the Hallstätter See, Hallstatt looks as picturesque as any village could possibly be.

The Hallstatt-Dachstein Salzkammergut area was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List based on the its natural landscape and prehistoric salt mining.

Getting there takes a little time, around 2.5 hours from both Vienna and Salzburg and typically involves a change of transportation.
