Hallstatt, Austria

Why Walk Hallstatt

Hallstatt is impossibly picturesque — a cluster of pastel houses reflected in an emerald lake beneath towering limestone peaks. The village is so small that its single street and narrow lanes can be walked in under an hour, but its setting demands a slower pace. The Skywalk viewing platform offers a bird's-eye perspective of the lake and village. The Hallstatt Salt Mine, the world's oldest, has been operating for over 7,000 years and offers underground tours with a dramatic salt-lake crossing. The Bone House (Beinhaus) in St. Michael's Chapel displays over 600 painted skulls — a tradition born from the cemetery's limited space. The lakeside promenade connects the ferry dock to the main square, and the Echern Valley trail leads to the Waldbachstrub waterfall. Despite its tiny size, Hallstatt gave its name to an entire era of European history — the Hallstatt Period of Celtic culture.
