Hallstatt - a name that is not only famous in Europe, but has also long been recognised on Instagram feeds in North America. The small village in the Salzkammergut is one of the most beautiful lakeside towns in the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nestled between steep mountains and the crystal-clear Lake Hallstatt, the historic town centre enchants visitors with its houses built like swallows' nests on the hillside and an atmosphere so picturesque that Hallstatt has even made it to China as a replica.

But Hallstatt is much more than just a photo opportunity: the oldest salt mine in the world is hidden in the high valley above the town and tells of 7,000 years of cultural history - from the Celts to the prince archbishops and the heyday of the Habsburgs. Experience at first hand how the "white gold" helped this region to fame and fortune!
