Looking down on Hallstatt feels like stepping into a storybook. The way the mountains hug the lake is unreal. Mountains, a mirror-blue lake and a tiny village in between, feel like a page from a fantasy book. A fascinating view of Hallstätter See in Austria’s Salzkammergut region, a lake about 5.9 km long, up to 2.3 km wide and around 125 m deep. The town of Hallstatt is one of the oldest still-inhabited settlements in Europe, famous historically for its salt production (the world's oldest salt mine is here) dating back to prehistoric times and is part of a UNESCO-listed cultural landscape.
