Lake Hallstatt

Lake Hallstatt is one of the most mysterious lakes in Austria, with many stories and myths surrounding this legendary lake. Seen from the air, it is reminiscent of a Norwegian fjord. Reinanken (whitefish) have overtaken char - today the lake is one of the best whitefish lakes in the whole of Austria, although not so long ago it was still dominated by char. The municipalities of Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee and Obertraun extend around the lake, with Hallstatt on the western shore.
