Travelling directly from Salzburg to Hallstatt, our route will take us past Gosau, Russbach and Abtenau. As we pass by Gosau, enjoy great views of Dachstein Mountains. Thanks to its extraordinary beauty, Hallstatt was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Let the unique charm of this historic town beguile you. You might want to take this rare opportunity to visit the famous Beinhaus (Charnel House) with its painted skulls.

After ample free time in Hallstatt, we'll continue to Bad Ischl, which still contains remnants of the time when it was the summer residence of Emperor Franz Josef's imperial court. Spend a relaxing moment or two walking around the town center, passing the Spa Centre, Lehar Theatre, local museum or perhaps enjoying a strong brew at one of the famous coffee houses. We'll travel back through the lake area en route to Salzburg.
