Tucked away on the Northern foot of the majestic Dachstein Mountain Range, overlooking the Hallstätter See, the picturesque village of Hallstatt is one of Austria’s most charming destinations. In the heart of the Alpine UNESCO World Heritage Site, Halstatt is renowned for its scenic views, easily accessible beaches and glorious mountain scenery. Visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, fishing, diving and boating on the traditional Salzkammergut flat-bottomed boats. Must-see attractions include the historic Market Square, the 15th-century Roman Catholic Ascension of Our Lady Church and Halstatt’s 18th-century Evangelical Church with its impressive spire. Don’t miss daily tours to the 250-year-old salt caves and a ferry ride across the lake to the magnificent Dachstein ice caves.
