Austria Hallstatt - Classic View
You can't fail to take a great picture at that this iconic photo spot in Hallstatt, Austria. The place itself is quite a tourist but it's still worth it to enjoy this beautiful view of the village, especially early in the morning when there are fewer people. The church and the reflections of the village in front of the huge mountain area are perfect themes for any travel and landscape photographer.
Photography Tips
For sunrise, come in time. It's beautiful during the blue hour before the sunrise and you can 'fix a spot' before you're overwhelmed with other photographers. This way you can also have different moods from the same location.
There is also a small ferry that goes back and forth to the other side, which can be a nice addition to your picture.
Be respectful of the neighbours... People live there and people like a good sleep...

Travel Information
When you are coming from the south, it's probably a good idea to leave your car outside the village and use them on the map marked parking place. It's a little bit outside the centre of Hallstatt, but it's only about 10 minutes to walk to the spot. This one is especially recommended if you want to photograph the city during the day or sunset because that's usually the time when there are quite a lot of tourists.
