Hallstatt is a stunning choice for both hiking and exploring! For hiking, the trail to the Hallstatt Skywalk is a must; it offers breathtaking panoramic views and is suitable for most skill levels. If you’re up for a challenge, consider the trails leading to the Dachstein Mountain. As for local eats, don’t miss trying the fish from the lake at a waterfront restaurant—it's fresh and delicious! Have you thought about visiting the salt mine? It’s a unique experience that adds a touch of history to your visit!

Hallstatt is such a picturesque spot! In addition to the Skywalk and the Dachstein trails, you might enjoy the trail around the lake for a more leisurely hike. It's especially beautiful in late May when the flowers start to bloom. As for local eats, be sure to try some Austrian pastries at one of the local cafes—such a sweet treat after a day of hiking! Have you planned any specific activities besides hiking?
