The salt mines are one of the most popular attractions in the area. They date back to the first millennium BC. Nowadays, visits to the mine galleries are done by taking a funicular. In addition, travelers will be surprised to discover the underground chapel of St. Barbara and a long miners' slide. Once back in daylight, they can go to the village's historic center, where they will discover splendid views. The stairs can be taken to gain height and admire the Lake's panorama.
The next spot is the SeestraBe, a shopping street along the Lake. Boutiques, souvenir shops, and snack bars can be found there. But if that is not enough, Marktplatz has it all: several cafés and bar restaurants. The crazy charm of this place, with its colorful houses with flowery balconies, fountain, and famous statue of the Holy Trinity, will delight many.
After this unusual visit, the Hallstatt Skywalk is a great activity. Here, a nice walk of a few hours is reserved for visitors. After their efforts, they can take a footbridge to advance towards the Lake. It is one of the best ways to take in the unobstructed views of the village and the surrounding mountains. Some might try to walk around the Lake. They will only have to travel 22 km. Otherwise, the Echerntalweg is an exciting hike where tourists can take a trip to the forest and hear the sound of the waterfalls.
Finally, other activities, such as a visit to the Evangelical Parish Church or the Catholic Church of the Assumption and a boat trip on the Lake, are to be planned. ◄
