Exploring Hallstatt: Austria's Fairytale Village 🇦🇹

Just two hours away from Salzburg is Hallstatt, a picturesque alpine village in the heart of Austria. It sits perfectly on the shores of a dazzling lake, framed neatly by a soaring host of mountains, and, if the views somehow aren’t enough, Hallstatt offers an abundance of history, like the salt mines that have been in operation since the prehistoric times. Join us as we take a day trip to Hallstatt from Salzburg to experience all of that and so much more! 🇦🇹

Follow along to see where we head next. 🥰

And that is a wrap on Austria! 🥲 This country was picturesque, darling, and enchanting in every way, and we are so grateful for the golden weather we had while traveling around the country. We’ll definitely be back again in the future! 🇦🇹 Next week, we’re moving on to Country #21 with a super fun food tour– any guesses where?! 😁

I love how you guys stop to explain a word or a feeling that encapsulates each place or experience. Also, so cute how Chad stopped to help Claire onto the swing before getting on his. Love it. You guys are the best!!

As a local, I have been fascinated to see your reactions to the sights in Wien, Salzburg, Innsbruck and Hallstatt. But let me tell you, if you want to see even more places, which have this magic aura then I have to recommend christmasmarket in Christkindl, Steyr. If you have enjoyed to see the mining areas I recommend Leoben the iron mining, which is less touristic but in the heart of the green lung of Austria.

Besides that, I really love our castles especially Hochosterwitz, Hohen Werfen and Rottenmann. Another activity you have to do is, go hiking up to smaller alpine huts and taste those meals. I am sure those taste even better, especially after a long hike, a great time in the nature, some great ways with lots of wild animals you can take a rest at an alpine hut and relax. Especially in the area of Tyrol and Salzburg there are many cable railways up to the top, where you do not have to hike that much, but still want to get this feeling. A little disadvantage is that those regions are more touristic, so if you want to get the whole traditional life, the traditional feelings of hiking activities I point out that Upper Austria, Styria and Carynthia are the ones you want to visit.

All over the world there are so many great places to visit, so it is hard to visit all of them, but those are a list of my recommendations as a local in Austria.

Greetings from 🇨🇭. James and I definitely had a great time in Austria too. We went there for our honeymoon several years ago, visiting the same places as you. We stayed 2 nights in Hallstatt, and loved the salt mine too (isn't the train out of the mine wild!)

Keep on enjoying life,
Steve and James

It's beautiful wish I lived there

I recommend the fantasy tv show “the 10th kingdom” might have to find it somewhere. A lot of it was filmed there and the characters even do the slide thing. Although in the show it’s the place where the dwarfs make magic mirrors.
