Board the bus in Salzburg and prepare for an exciting half-day trip to Hallstatt, a UNESCO-protected gem sandwiched between the serene Lake Hallstatt and the dramatic Dachstein Massif. With our expert bilingual guide setting the scene in English or German, you'll retrace the routes of ancient traders through the picturesque Salzkammergut region, passing through the postcard-perfect towns of Fuschl, St. Gilgen, and Strobl. These towns are best known for their lakes and majestic mountains, charming architecture, with colorful buildings and traditional wooden structures.
Once you step foot in Hallstatt, you’ll have 2.5 hours of free time to unearth the treasures of this fairy-tale-like town at your own pace. Marvel at the rustic architecture, take a stroll along the tranquil lake and delve into the town's rich history dating back to the Neolithic Age. Don't miss the intriguing Bone House, a unique showcase of the region's traditions and customs. Located in the small cemetery next to the Hallstatt Church, was built to address the problem of limited burial space. Families would paint the skulls with elaborate floral designs and inscriptions, which included the deceased’s name, date of birth and death, and sometimes even a brief epitaph or profession. This was done to honor the deceased and keep their memory alive.
The return route is another feast for the eyes, as we journey through the picturesque towns of Gosau, Russbach, and Abtenau. These charming towns, steeped in history and surrounded by nature, provide the perfect end to a memorable day trip. Back onboard, our guide will ensure your experience is not just about breathtaking sceneries but also about understanding and appreciating the rich culture and history of this enchanting region.
