Such a fantastic video, could you share what's the best way to go to Hallstatt from Vienna? Thank you

[@aleeyh69]

Thx - which month was this filmed?

[@danielpetrac35]

Skywalk is a definite recommendation, salt mines are great for visiting with kids and the whole town is full of decorations, but also history. Great place for a weekend trip.

Hallstatt is home to 750 people, while it receives an estimated 1 million visitors every year so you can imagine what that means. The whole city of Hallstatt is an artificially inflated advertising bubble (thanks to the quite questionable UNESCO program "World Cultural Heritage"). It is overcrowded by foreign tourists (by and and large non-European ones), mostly just one-day visitors, who are brought there by large buses and taken away the same evening. As a result, the prices in the city are really inflated and quality of offered services is considerably below the Austrian standards (ranging from the low quality of food to the generally overpriced meals, accommodations, unfriendly parking policy. etc.) It is absolutely clear that we will not be ever returning to this location and would not recommend it to any of our friends. Incredibly overhyped place that's essentially just one street. Food is awful if you manage to get some, drones flying overhead during tourist season which is when anyone would go there, otherwise everything is bleak,. Good only for a quick day-trip!

[@tour.de.austria235]

We visited it in the beginning of June and also in the middle of October for perfect autumn colours. If weather is nice, October is a very nice month to visit, less tourists and still relatively warm. However, Hallstatt has its beauty in each of the season. Hope you visit this place soon

[@robynhope219]

Hi. I'm going there in October. I don't plan to rent a car. So how can I travel to see all the places you recommend?

[@tour.de.austria235]

Hi, You can come to Hallstatt by bus or train. Train will bring you to Obertraun and you will need to take ferry to cross the lake. To visit sights in Hallstatt, you do not need the car as all is super close to each other. From which city do you arrive?

[@yaya6384]

@Tour.de.Austria thank you. I will be travel from Vienna. So I can wall to visit the salt mine?

Thank you for making this video! This Octorber we will be in Hallstatt for 1 day . We really Love to see the World Heritage Skywalk. Can you tell me how to get there and how long from old town? Thanks in advance!!

[@tour.de.austria235]

You have two options: one to get by cable car up, search for Salzbergbahn in Google or check this website www.salzwelten.at/en/hallstatt/prices-opening-hours, another is to hike directly from old town, you should have good and solid footwear and 30-50 minutes dependent on your condition

THANK YOU for your video with such an enthusiastic narration! I really enjoyed it tremendously. Question, please: In your video, I see the leaves are changing color and you are wearing a jacket. What month was this? --- And then when you are on the lake, you are wearing short sleeves. Did you make TWO trips? (We are going in middle to late September.). Again, THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO!!! Excellent job! 😃✅😀

[@tour.de.austria235]

Thank you for your great feedback. Indeed, we were even three times in Hallstatt, but the video is a combination of our last two trips. One is in the of October (we were lucky, it was a beautiful warm autumn day, as we filmed at 7am to avoid crowds , I was wearing a very warm jacket but during the day it got to 15-18 degrees), another visit was in the beginning of June.

[@robindewit4656]

You went last September? I’m going this September. How was your experience? Any pointers?

[@keithfolse4068]

@@robindewit4656 Well, we were traveling by car with a German friend, and it rained so much while we were in Austria, that he didn't want to drive to Halstatt :-( so guess what? We never got to Halstatt, sadly. We stayed in a small town called Zell am See. It was very nice, too, but it didn't. have the crazy high number of tourists when we were there. (However, in winter, it's a ski mecca, so watch out for the number of people there during ski season.). I hope your visit in September is a GREAT experience for you!

[@SilverHunkClover]

Is it legal to fly a drone there?

When we filmed, it was allowed, especially with Mavic mini which is below 250g, however for current regulations pls check ÖAMTC Drone map. It has all the updates

[@ЉВЈ]

Hallstatt is an insta-spot where there is indeed not much to see and do. Most tourists stay for half an hour or so, unless they go to visit the salt mine. We were in western Austria a week ago and never got any receipt in cafes and restaurants! We felt overpriced in some of those, almost all of them. The salt mine in Hallstatt is nowhere near Vielichka in Poland near Krakow.
