About Hallstatt
Hallstatt seems designed by an artist's brush. This 13th-century village sits on the shores of Hallstätter See, with colorful 18th-century houses and their reflections dancing in the crystalline water. Surrounded by Alpine peaks, the village's charm has made it one of Austria's most photographed destinations. Beyond the iconic village square, hiking trails lead to mountain huts with panoramic views.
