Things to do in Altaussee

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.

Strolling along the shores of Lake Hallstatt, the crystal-clear waters and the surrounding Alps create a picturesque scene that has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

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.

[Scenery] Emperor Franz and Sissi met in Bad Ischl, where they were engaged. Empress Sophie gave the villa to the emperor as a gift. The royal family often came here for vacation and hunting. [Fun] The courtyard is green and grassy. There is a low hill opposite the villa, from which you can overlook the entire town. [Value for money] The Royal Villa Garden is 4.6 euros, and the palace and photo museum are charged separately. Since there is only German explanation in the palace, we can't understand it at all, so we only bought tickets for the garden.

Driving to Salzburg, I passed by St. Gilgen and saw Lake Wolfgang again. It was so beautiful that I pulled over to the side of the road to see it~ The beautiful scenery at the beginning of the famous movie "The Sound of Music" was shot at Lake Wolfgang~ Lake Wolfgang was listed as a World Natural Heritage Site by the United Nations in 1997. You will never get tired of seeing it~

Due to the limited land area of ​​Hallstatt, the remains of the deceased will be moved out of the graves and placed in the ossuary in the caves on the mountain ten years after burial. The skulls engraved with names and dates of birth and death are stacked together to form a human bone chamber. A total of 1,200 skulls are stacked in the ossuary, 610 of which are painted with patterns.
