Parish of the Assumption

Reviewed By RechkeSRB - Belgrade, Serbia

Modest interior and monumental facade with high bell tower. Interesting place to visit, especially early in the morning when you can see sunlight coming through the high windows. View of the lake is amazing in the morning from the church yard, water has deep blue color and surrounding mountains are casting shadows, which makes the scenery absolutely fantastic

Old Town

Reviewed By TatteredBackpack - New York City, United States

Simply a gorgeous place, on par with other world attractions like Venice and Macchu Picchu. Even the bus/train ride from Salzburg is beautiful. However, do try to go before the summer crush. We were there in May when it was still chilly and it was already getting crowded once the buses rolled in. Definitely stay overnight so that you can do the fantastic hikes in the area like Echernthal or around the lake., or down the hill. Also, it's a different experience to have the old town to yourself at night.

Badestrand Hallstatt

Reviewed By permia

Only a short walk from the town centre, it was wonderful to enjoy the water here. We didn't swim but paddling the feet was grand. It also provides a great vantage point for thrilling vistas of the lake and town.

Visited during winter and was blessed with a clear sunny day. Took a boat ride on this beautiful lake and loved the reflections of the mountain and the town in the waters. Best to visit in the morning.

Hallstatt Lutheran Church

Reviewed By zimmys57 - Delavan, United States

We arrived by train taking the ferry boat across the lake to the village. Having previously seen photographs of Hallstatt the church and stepple attrach your immediate attention as you approach. The church is old and well preserved and the inside gives you a feeling of solitude and reflection. Take the time to sit inside and remember your lost loved ones.
