Hallstatt

Lovable Hallstatt is a tiny town bullied onto a ledge between a selfish mountain and a swan-ruled lake, with a waterfall ripping furiously through its middle. The big draws of Hallstatt are its village and its lakeside setting. Come here to relax, nibble, wander, and paddle. Beyond lies the Salzkammergut region, a gentle land of lakes, forested mountains, and storybook villages.
