Situated on the shores of the idyllic Hallstätter Sea, the tiny community of Hallstatt is perhaps the most beautiful example of the many quaint traditional villages waiting to be explored in Upper Austria.
The Hallstätter Sea - 8.5 kilometers long and up to two kilometers wide -
has long drawn tourists for its excellent fishing and boating, as well
as its stunning scenery. Between the town, the lake, and the surrounding
mountains, visitors will find plenty of things to do in Hallstatt.
The region has been deemed so important that it has been designated the
UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut.
The lake is up to 125 meters deep and is surrounded by steep, wooded slopes that give it a fjord-like
character.
