Also known as the Lake District, Salzkammergut is home to rolling hills, soaring mountains, picture-perfect valleys, and impressive alpine lakes. In fact, 76 spectacular lakes can be found here, the most beautiful of which is arguably the Hallstätter See. There are plenty of hiking and cycling trails for people of most abilities, including the popular Ausserland – Salzkammergut trail that winds around six of the lakes. The region also offers a lively cultural scene and plenty of charming towns, including the historic village of Hallstatt, which is on the list of UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Sites.
