Hallstatt also holds events every year. Due to the narrow roads in the city, Mass is usually held on the boating lake. The flower-decorated salt-carrying boats have altars, as well as bishops, altarpieces and choirs, and the boats are festooned with church flags woven with people in various traditional costumes.

Hallstatt and Altausee Salt Mine
There is a salt cave halfway up the mountain behind the town. It has a history of more than 7,000 years. It is the oldest salt mine in the world and one of the must-see attractions in Hall Tate. Visitors can take the cable car to go there. After arriving at the cable car station, they can see a restaurant. After climbing up for about 15 minutes, they will see the salt pit. After that, they have to change into "miners' clothes" and take a small train to enter the cave. After getting off the bus, I walked into a twisty, deep and strange passage. Since the mine was deep underground, it was very interesting to slide down a slide. In the mine, there is a movie room to introduce the history of the salt pit and the mining process, so that visitors can deepen their understanding of the salt cave; there is also an underground salt lake, the level is like a mirror, in addition, tourists can also visit the original salt mine workers' dormitory "Salt Miners".

What travellers say about Obertraun

I had an amazing experience visiting Hallstatt, and it felt like stepping into a real-life postcard. The village is incredibly beautiful, with calm lake views, traditional wooden houses, and mountains surrounding the area. One unforgettable moment was standing by the lake early in the morning when the water was completely still and reflected the entire village like a mirror. I also enjoyed walking through the small streets, taking photos at every corner because the scenery was just so stunning. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, very different from busy cities. Overall, Hallstatt is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited and definitely worth the trip for its breathtaking views and quiet charm.

Hallstatt is famous for its calm lake, towering churches, quiet towns, and majestic mountains. Everything forms a perfect picture. Although the morning and evening are equally calm, the scenery is very different due to the different light angles. If possible, try to avoid visiting here at noon when there are many tourists.

Before entering Ha Town, we went to Gosau first. In addition to Gosau Town, Gosau Lake is also a very good place. Hiking around the lake is very beautiful with few people. The lake is very calm. Although there are no swans, you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

A commercial center in the town. There are many specialty shops inside. Many of them are century-old shops. You can see local souvenirs here, and there are also stores of international brands for souvenirs. You can walk around at will.

When you go to Austria, you must visit the small town by Lake Hallstatt and take a photo at the famous postcard viewing platform. After all, it is one of the most beautiful towns in Europe. The town is not big and there are many tourists. If you stay in the town for one night, you can enjoy the tranquility of the lakeside in the evening and morning and the beautiful scenery of sunrise and sunset... It's a short stopover, and it's enough for about two hours.

[Scenery] The lakes in Austria are all so beautiful. Green mountains and clear waters, no water entertainment, quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a relaxing vacation
[Fun] There are several famous towns around, suitable for a short stay; the mountain train can reach Schafberg; there are bicycle paths and trails along the lake, both for cycling and hiking. I also encountered diving, which seemed to be a beginner's training
[Value for money] Lake Wolfgang is a traditional holiday destination for locals, with complete facilities
