HALLSTATT
Enter life in Hallstatt immediately at the front door. If you decide to stay, you will get to know more about this place than just a surface picture.
Those who take time can experience the complexity of the historical imprint of this exceptional setting. Hallstatt needs and deserves time – you can't understand a thousand years in a day.
Located in the centre of the Inner Salzkammergut
Hallstatt is not only a very special place to be discovered, it is also a perfect starting point for exploring the Inner Salzkammergut. Bad Goisern, Gosau and Bad Ischl as well as Bad Aussee and Altaussee on the Styrian side are very close. Furthermore, the Hallstatt region is surrounded by the lakedistrict around Lake Wolfgangsee and the more alpine Grimming area next to Bad Mitterndorf. The Enns Valley, even further south, the Traunsee region with Gmunden further north, as well as the city of Salzburg are also attractive destinations that can be reached comfortably by public transport or by your own car with a bit longer but charming journey.
