The three villages of Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee, Hallstatt and Obertraun share the tranquil and mystical Lake Hallstatt.
Lined with steep mountains like a green frame, Lake Hallstatt offers a breathtaking backdrop. The panorama has been photographed many times and is one of the most beautiful in the world. A lot has changed since the first people roamed this area 7,000 years ago, but the fascination for this lake has not.
Lake Hallstatt offers the opportunity to take a boat tour and refresh yourself in the cool water in summer. Many free bathing spots around the lake invite you to relax and linger. Boat rentals around the lake offer the opportunity to take the helm yourself and explore the lake.
