Hallstatt Hike 1

Salt Worlds: Either hike up to the Salzwelten (approx. 30 min) or take the salt mine funicular. Enjoy a coffee or a meal at the “Rudolfsturm Restaurant”after the guided tour in the salt mine and take the wonderful view of the lake.

Hallstatt Hike 2

Waterfall: Take an hour and hike up to the waterfall in the “Echerntal”- the valley in Hallstatt, starting at parking lot P2. You can also take the car and get very close. The hike is then only about 20 minutes. Follow the signs for “Wasserfall”.

Hallstatt Hike 3

Take the 15 min boat-ride from Hallstatt „Markt“(just beneath the big Heritage Hotel) across the lake to the train station. From there hike to the left and continue straight ahead. It´s a wonderful hike along the lake. After about an hour you will get to the restaurant „Gasthaus Seeraunzn“. Enjoy a typical Austrian meal and hike back to the train station. From there the boat will bring you back to Hallstatt. We have taken a stroller on this tour. It is possible but not easy as there are a couple of fierce roots and stones on the path. Better carry your baby.
