FAIRY VILLAGE
Hallstatt frontally overlooks
the beautiful lake and gently
backs against the captivating
mountains, creating amazing
scenery. Small, winding pathways
around the village and roads on
the mountainside make Hallstatt
more charming and picturesque
than ever. It takes about one
hour to reach the mountain peak
behind the village where you
can admire the best panoramic
view of Hallstatt complete with
snow-covered mountains and
small houses which are viewed
as shimmering reflections in the
glassy waters of the lake in the
green valley. Perhaps, simple
words cannot describe completely
the beauty of this area, which has
been recognized by UNESCO as a
World Cultural Heritage site.
Close your eyes and think about
what you have read in Grimm’s
Fairy Tales. There is a lovely and
peaceful village with white roofs
covered with snow, some white
chimneys and forests wearing a
white coat of snow. People enjoy
their rustic, simple lives there.
Sparkling yellow lights make the
place feel warmer. Some houses
are adorned with Christmas’
colours. The aroma of traditional
waffle from the bakery spreads
over the village. Stop looking
elsewhere, Hallstatt is the village
you’re looking for.
