Introducing Hallstatt

Hallstatt is situated in the Austrian state of Upper Austria. It lies between the southwestern shore of Hallstätter See and the slopes of the Dachstein massif. The city is known for its salt production and for being the core of the “Hallstatt-Dachstein/ Salzkammergut Cultural Landscape” declared UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.

The production of salt dates back to prehistoric times and gave its name to the Hallstatt culture. This was a specific archeological culture linked to the early Celtic people of the Iron Age. Due to the rich resources of salt, this landscape also counts as one of the first places of human settlement.

Given its amazing landscape, the fairy tale city is a famous holiday spot. The neighboring Salzkammergut mountains and the Lake Hallstatt are famous attractions.
