Best Hallstatt Day Trips & Things to Do

A picturesque Austria village, the World Heritage Site of Hallstatt is home to possibly the first salt mine ever discovered, dating back to prehistoric times, and is the originator of Hallstatt Culture, the predominant culture of early Central Europe during the European Iron Age. A small town, Hallstatt hosts less than a 1,000 citizens and is easily tourable by foot. Located on the shores of the Hallstatter See, the town rests on the national road between Salzburg and Graz.
