History of Hallstatt

Some information about...

Hallstatt has a 4500 years old history (You can read about it on the official website of Hallstatt).

This village originally based on salt-mining on the lake- and hillside, but now, beside the salt-mining, the main incoming source is the turism.

Hallstatt is 500m high above sea-level on the side of the Lake of Hallstatt.

My experience...

Hallstatt is the loveliest place I've been before. It's impossible to write down the feeling of the village. It's just like heaven...

The life is a little bit expensive in Hallstatt, but You will forget about it when You spend Your holiday here.

I can't tell You more about Hallstatt! You must see this village once in a lifetime...at least...

 Beautiful and Very Helpful page!!! I've sold by you. I just added it to my trip. I'll be there in a week or so. How long do you suggest I stay there? I am on my own, BTW. Did you go there from Salzbug?
