Review & FAQ:
Hallstatt is a small alpine town in Austria’s Northern Limestone Alps. The region’s natural beauty surrounds Lake Hallstatt at the base of the Dachstein glacier. In addition to the salt mines, from which the region’s prosperity was born, the area is known for artisanal crafts such as hat-making, shoe-making, wood working and upholstery. See the history of the handmade at Hand.Werk.Haus, a museum dedicated to local crafts. Enjoy a meal at the Steegwirt restaurant, which has been serving the local specialty of freshwater fish since the 16th century. Ferries cross the lake to connect several of the regional hamlets.
