Absolutely must see if you are in Austria. Blue lake hidden between mountains, very beautiful decorated houses rising from stone, solt mine. It's somewhat far from main roads, but you'll be impressed by the mountain and forest views during your trip by the small village roads.

Magnificent and impressive. The view is really nice. Just that we went there too early as station 2 is still not open to public.

Hallstatt is like a fairyland. We enjoyed the journey via boat to reach this village of dreams. Weather was beautiful coz it was raining in August! Loved the forest trails and the Salt Mine in there! However we skipped the salt mine tour in between because it was taking too much time. Beautiful scenery, lake side walk, friendly people, live... More

Hallstatt.....the view from the ferry was just out of the world ! (The route is - Bus 150 from salzburg to Bd Ischl . Train from Bad Ischl to Hallstatt . Ferry from the station to the village.) This route was the easiest and fastest one to reach the village. Keep your cameras ready all the time as you travel... More

A car ride is always a must for us, as the scenery and drive is just as much as the destinations themselves. The roads are tight and winding. We drove when snow had just fallen. Teh roads were clear- but even tighter due to the drifts. Cars passed our tentativeness, yet the mountains and beauty we witnessed, left the destination... More

It is not a wonder that this beautiful village is listed as a World Heritage Site. The village is colorful and quaint with shrubbery covered buildings jutting out of the mountainside and curvy cobblestone alleys overlooking the Alps and the Lake. There are several churches, one with an interesting old cemetery and a chapel of bones. Since I visited at... More

I thought it was just illusion when arrived at Hallstatt.. I've dreamt so long to see this small piece of heaven on earth. Although in winter, the scene is not as green as in summer but still we can have another sensation to enjoy the scenery panoramic surrounded by snowy mountain. I've prepared the plan so long and travelled so... More

Hallstatt is not so easily accessible and is a bit out of the way from the main roads, but if you have the opportunity to visit it, by all means, do not miss this unique beauty. It almost hovers over the lake surrounded from all sides by incredibly high mountains. Warning: it can be very cold, so take care what... More

Though not particularly well signposted, Hallstat is a very beautiful village set along the cliffs of the Hallstaersee lake. the quaint little shops are worth a browse and the restaurants are well stocked and well maintained. more of a walk around, and have a bite to eat than a day out shopping, but you can happily lose half a day...
