Colourful houses, a church spire and boats on the calm lake.
Address: Marktplatz, 4830 Hallstatt
Hallstatt has been inhabited for thousands of years thanks to its salt mine, one of the oldest in the world. An entire early European culture, the Hallstatt culture, was named after finds made here.
Its houses cling to a narrow strip between the lake and the mountains. The classic view, with the Lutheran church spire, is taken from the northern end of the village. The region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
