The little market village of Hallstatt, one of the most attractive places in the Salzkammergut, is idyllically positioned on the southwest shore of the Hallstätter See.

 Taking its name from the nearby salt mine, the village clusters around its charming Marktplatz, surrounded by traditional houses, their balconies draped in flowers. Shops and terraced cafes line the square, and a highlight is the elegant Holy Trinity statue.

 One of the most famous views of the old village is from the popular Photo Point in the Römisches district, just a short walk away from Marktplatz.
