Among all the tourist attractions of Austria, a unique town whose beauty is incomparable stands out, we refer to the town of Hallstatt, surrounded on one side by beautiful mountains of incomparable size and on the other side by a large lake of crystalline water.

Hallstatt has many curiosities to offer, especially as far as history is concerned. In addition, its landscapes are beautiful. It was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1997.

Between mountains and lakes, the beautiful town of Hallstatt is located, whose name is due to the abundant salt in its nearby mines. Closed to the public until the 19th century, Hallstatt, in Austria, is an excellent option to enjoy rural life and truly magical landscapes.

Hallstatt, an inhospitable place

Various investigations conducted in the mid-nineteenth century found a prehistoric cemetery near the current town.

In total, nearly a thousand graves were placed and excavated perfectly, as if it were a drawing.

The only possibility that existed to get to Hallstatt was by boat or by narrow and somewhat complicated paths. The mountains and Lake Hallstatter See made the crossing very difficult.
