Hallstatt is an ancient Austrian town, located right on the shore of Lake Hallstätter, Salzkammergut region, Upper Austria province. With its back against Dachstein mountain and its front facing Hallstättersee lake, Hallstatt with its poetic beauty is known as the "pearl of Austria" or "fairyland" with an age of up to 7,000 years.
Through the ups and downs of history, Hallstatt still retains the inherent charm of medieval churches and castles with unique architecture. Hallstatt is also known as the oldest salt mine in the world. In 1997, UNESCO recognized Hallstatt as a World Heritage Site.
The peak tourist season here is around July, August, and September. After winter, near Christmas, Hallstatt is often less crowded, making the cost much cheaper and the space more comfortable. At night, the lakeside houses in Hallstatt town are immersed in warm yellow lights. A few Christmas trees are set up early, with sparkling baubles interwoven. The lake surface is covered with a thin layer of ice, like a giant mirror reflecting the poetic mountains and forests.
Winter in Hallstatt is also the season of food festivals, entertainment, and skiing. Hallstatt is located in the cradle of world music, so music always resounds everywhere, especially during Christmas season, musicals are performed every night, bringing the peaceful and warm Christmas atmosphere to spread to the roofs.
