Austria Village Hallstatt in Austria

Hallstatt is a very small city with less than 1000 citizens. Its highly touristic and there are a lot of shops you can buy souveniers, handmade soap, salt and all that stuff.

There is a Mountain with a nice Viewpoint there, a Saltmine you can visit and of course you can take boattrips on the lake.

Since the village is very small you need to walk the small streets located next to the lake. There are a lot of nice views along the way but you get only two positions where you are able to catch the "valleys peak" that reach into the lake.

The first is really at the beginn of the valley where the tourist center is. You cant miss it since this is the main view.

The second is that one I used for that shot. I marked the exact spot so you see you need to walk through the village till you come to a large bend that gives you a clear view of the scenery. You dont even need to (in fact you cant) leave the street and can shoot right away.

free parking is impossible but there are a lot of parking spaces available. You cant miss them.
