Nestled between serene alpine lakes and towering mountains, Hallstatt is a picture-perfect destination that feels like stepping into a dream. But beyond its postcard beauty, this Austrian gem offers a chance to travel sustainably while preserving its charm for future generations. Exploring Hallstatt on foot or by e-bike allows you to soak in its stunning scenery without adding to its carbon footprint. I wandered through the car-free Old Town, admiring pastel-hued houses and flower-laden balconies, embracing the slow travel experience. A boat ride across Hallstätter See, powered by electric motors, offered breathtaking reflections of the Dachstein Alps. Sustainability also shines through in local dining—fresh, organic produce from nearby farms and freshly caught fish from the lake make for delicious, eco-friendly meals. I opted for a traditional fish dish at a family-run lakeside restaurant, supporting local businesses and reducing food miles. Hallstatt may be famous for its beauty, but its commitment to sustainability makes it even more enchanting. Let’s travel responsibly and protect these magical places for generations to come. #earthdayjourney #SustainableTravel #Hallstatt #EcoFriendlyAdventures

#TravelItinerary #TravelPlan #EuropeTravel #Austria #Hallstatt During my last trip to Salzburg, I visited the fairytale village 'Hallstatt'! Hallstatt actually has ambiguous transportation, so unless you rent a car or take a tour, it takes a lot of time to get around, so I booked a half-day tour for about 90,000 won and went!! I'll tell you about my schedule after my trip and my schedule in Hallstatt😃 💵 Hallstatt Half-Day Package - 90,500 won 🍔 Burgerman Lunch 08:15-13:40 ✅ Free time 2 hours and 30 minutes, free lunch ✅ High cost, short travel time, no transfer required ✅ Prepare 7 euros in cash for the ferry round trip 🚌 Central Station-Hotel Sacher Salzburg 14:00-14:15 Sachertorte at Sacher Cafe! 14:30-15:30 Makart Bridge and Getreidegasse, Mozart's birthplace 15:30-17:00 👟 Go to JOHANN 17:00-17:20 🍽️ Dinner at JOHANN 17:20-18:30 We went according to the above schedule, but the word "salz" in Salzburg means salt!! I bought some souvenir salt at the salt shop in Hallstatt, and there are various flavors, so I recommend that everyone visit at least once! And I visited Hotel Sacher, one of the top 3 cafes in Austria, and had Sachertorte, which was so sweet and delicious! You can enter Mozart's birthplace for free with the Salzburg Card, so I recommend that you visit at least once!☺️ I visited the restaurant I visited the day before again for dinner!

#1月好去地方2025 Hallstatt, the most beautiful lake town in Austria, has a changeable climate in the mountains, sometimes sunny, sometimes foggy, and has different scenery throughout the year. There are many tourists during the day, but most of them will not stay overnight. It is recommended to stay at least one night to experience the dusk, night and morning of Hallstatt. It is worth it! The best time to visit Hasstatt is in May, in late spring and early summer, when flowers are in full bloom and the weather is exceptionally good. The blue sky, lake view and town church make it look like a postcard scene. I specially booked a lake view hotel for one night. Without the noise of tourists at night and in the early morning, it was as quiet as a paradise. The transportation in Hasstatt is a little complicated. If you go there by train, you need to transfer to Attnang Puchheim first, get off at Hasstatt Bahnst and then take the ferry to the other side. It is quite troublesome, so the best way is to drive yourself, or take a direct shuttle bus. #AustriaTravel #Hallstatt #hasstatt

A trip to Eastern Europe brought us to the picturesque lakeside town of Hallstatt. With its emerald mountains, clear lake, drifting mist, and church bell tower, it forms a beautiful postcard scene! If you visit Hallstatt without staying a night, how can you experience the town's most beautiful dusk and dawn? Make sure to spend the extra money on a lake view room to truly immerse yourself in the scenery! The Heritage Hotel is located right next to the pier and the church, offering prime lake views. The hotel has two buildings, and we were assigned to the one perched on the hillside. Although it wasn't directly by the lake, the higher elevation provided even better lake views, complete with a private balcony overlooking Lake Hallstatt. It was fantastic. We booked two superior double rooms, with a rate of €353 per night excluding breakfast. It's not too expensive, considering the rooms are 22 square meters with a private balcony and a sofa lounge area. The room I stayed in was on the top floor with a slanted roof, and there was a skylight above the bed, allowing us to stargaze while lying in bed. It was truly exceptional. The town is incredibly peaceful and pleasant in the early morning and evening, unlike the crowded and noisy daytime. Staying one night is really worth it, as you can capture postcard-perfect scenes without any tourists, making it look like a painting.

With a long history, Hallstatt was once one of the oldest salt mines in the world. Dating back to the end of 2000 BC, the excavation of salt mines began to make Hallstatt inhabited. The ancient Celts mined the white gold of life - rock salt. It has the oldest salt pit in the world, which was closed in 2010 and became a tourist area. Therefore, it is also known as the "oldest salt capital in the world". Hallstatt is located on the shores of the same name in central Austria, surrounded by the majestic Alps. The town and the surrounding natural landscape are interdependent, outlining a picturesque beauty. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is fog in the morning, and the sunset is reflected in the mountains in the evening. There are fairy-tale quiet and beautiful residences everywhere. Living in a courtyard inn by the lake, pushing the window to see the lake, looking at the smoke on the lake, it seems to come to a fairyland.

My visit to Hallstatt, Austria was a magical and unforgettable experience. This small village, surrounded by mountains and lakes, looks like a picture with its traditional houses shimmering by the shore of Lake Hallstatt. I enjoyed wandering through the narrow streets and exploring historical landmarks like the Hallstatt Church. The view from the mountain top, where you can see the lake from above, was breathtaking. I spent my time relaxing by the tranquil and serene lakeside. Dining at one of the restaurants overlooking the lake and tasting traditional Austrian cuisine was a truly delightful experience. Visiting Hallstatt to enjoy its natural beauty and unique charm is highly recommended. It's an unforgettable travel destination! 🏞️🌅

A lake with a spectacular view that will change your life □Lake Hallstatt 📍Hallstatt, Austria I wanted to see a spectacular view that would move me to the bottom of my heart! At first, I thought about going to see a lake in Switzerland, but I thought that if I was going to Austria, it would be best to take a day trip by train to Hallstatt. It was an individual trip, not a tour. There was only one direct train per day, so I was a little worried, but the excitement and sense of adventure won out. It took about three and a half hours to arrive at the station from Vienna station, and from there we took a boat to the opposite shore. You need to hand over cash when boarding, and it is a round-trip ticket, so be careful not to lose it. I had about four to five hours until the return train, so I was able to take a leisurely stroll around the small town. The meaning of going on a trip is, of course, to actually see the scenery with your own eyes, but I think the best part is enjoying it with all five senses, such as feeling the air on your skin and tasting delicious food. Hallstatt in person was even more amazing than I had imagined it from pictures...! The scenery was so amazing that it changed my outlook on life. The first thing I thought was that I wanted my family to experience this amazing scenery, not just me. As I've said many times before, it was truly amazing. The water was clear and the breeze was pleasant. As I was walking around enjoying the contrast of green and blue, I encountered swans and cats. If you get hungry, you can eat delicious Viennese cuisine, and if you get tired, you can take a break by the lake. It's soothing. You should definitely go to Hallstatt at least once! #Austria #Hallstatt #Fritavi

Hallstatt has two official photo spots marked on Google Maps. One of them is the Hallstatt Viewpoint (Aussichtspunkt Hallstatt), which is free to visit. However, it can get very crowded (there are even signs asking people to be quiet and watch out for pickpockets). You can't miss this spot if you want to take postcard-perfect photos.

When it comes to lakes, we must mention the lake in Hallstatt, Europe's most beautiful town. The crystal-clear water, combined with the blue sky, mountain scenery, and town views, makes it a perfect place to spend a day in a daze. Walking around the lake, every spot is picturesque, and every photo taken looks like a postcard. You could spend an entire day just taking photos.

We booked a three-bedroom loft apartment, and it was exactly as shown in the pictures—everything was clean and tidy. From the bedroom windows, you can see mountains and lakes on three sides, and from the living room balcony, you can see the village of Hallstatt. The rooms are equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and cooking. The owners provide essentials like tea, coffee, salt, sugar, and basic cooking oil. The apartment also has many games, puzzles, and books that my children loved. They also have a sun deck by the lake, which is a great spot for a quick picnic. The apartment is very close to all the places you want to visit in Hallstatt, yet it is very quiet and away from the tourist hustle and bustle. Hallstatt Lahn (bus/boat station) is a 4-minute walk from the apartment, and we had no trouble dragging our suitcases from there to the apartment. There is a children's park 50 meters from the apartment, which the kids loved. Supermarkets and restaurants are also nearby. The owners are very nice. They live on the first floor. They helped us move our luggage to the second floor (where we stayed) and let us use the washing machine (+ dryer) where we washed all our clothes. They even brought some bread so the kids could feed the swans on the sun deck. I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit Hallstatt.

The salt mines in Hallstatt have a very long history. They were originally on the seabed tens of thousands of years ago, but were uplifted into mountains by the compression of the plates, and these thousand-year-old crystallized salt mines are treasured in this mountain 511 meters above sea level. The tour experience here is held every half an hour. If you buy your ticket on the spot, you shouldn't have to wait too long. After the ticket is checked, you need to change into a miner's uniform and queue up with the staff to receive it, and then return it after the tour. There are two wooden slides in the salt mine. In the past, they were tools for miners to move to the lower level. Now they are the highlight of the tour that excites tourists. With a length of 64 meters, it is also the longest wooden slide in Europe. The tour guide will ask everyone to line up one by one. There is also a traffic light sign above, which is super cute. You can slide down alone or with two people. There is also a small screen above to help you take pictures. After that, we walked all the way in the underground salt mine. Salt crystals can be seen everywhere on the walls. Since 1960, excavation projects have been carried out here every year to continuously study the historical trajectory of mine excavations over the past thousand years. There are also many installations in the tunnels, like a natural indoor museum, allowing tourists to learn about the stories of the past. There was also a wonderful light show that depicted the life of the prehistoric people of Hallstatt in the dim salt caves and salt lakes. I personally felt that it was very thoughtful. The final climax was when everyone got on the transport cart and rushed out of the center of the earth together, shuttling through the narrow salt cave at a very fast speed, which was really exciting. #EuropeanTown #AustriaTravel #Hallstatt Salt Mine #100 Ways to Travel
