Named for its location overlooking the dazzling Lake Hallstatt, the tiny village of Hallstatt is a fantastic place to enjoy the beauty of the mountainous Salzkammergut region. The town is filled with picturesque 16th-century houses and winding alleyways, and one of the most enjoyable things to do here is wander through the streets, snapping photos as you go. However, your trip wouldn't be complete without taking the funicular to Salzwelten, an underground salt mine that has been in use for thousands of years. You can also take the funicular up to a viewing platform that looks out over the mountains and the lake.
