 In the immediate vicinity.
Hallstatt is the heart of the World Heritage region and part of the Dachstein-Salzkammergut. That is why you don’t have to go far to visit various other sights of the region. Once such sight is the spa and royal town of Bad Ischl, located in the lovely Styrian Ausseerland. A further sight is the magnificent Wolf-gangsee. |
