Why this trip

The postcard picture of Hallstatt arises at the water, but the trip for active travellers begins above it. From the village on Lake Hallstatt the path leads up to the Waldbachstrub waterfall, a short stage through beech forest that is good for settling in. Further up the view opens from the viewing platform of the Skywalk onto lake, village and the Dachstein massif. If you want more ascent, climb from here up into the Salzkammergut and follow paths that touch on the mining history of the region, because salt shaped this landscape for millennia.

The water itself belongs to it too: kayak or stand-up paddle on the lake complement the hikes and relieve the legs. The season runs from May to October, in spring with waterfalls full of meltwater, in autumn with clear views and cool mornings. Salzburg lies within reach, as do Saalbach, Kitzbühel and Mayrhofen, if you want to link several mountain regions. How the days are distributed between lake and mountain is decided in the planning with Adventure.

For the paths in the village, allow for many steps and sturdy shoes.
