Un peisaj de poveste. Cu o cazare scumpa. Dar si o locatie turistica scumpa si vizitata. Dorita de oricine. Un proprietar englez mutat aici datorita predominarii zapezii si pasiunii sale pentru ski. Foarte aproape de pensiunea sa exista si funicularul sus la pestera de gheata renumita Dachstein. Poti ajunge si in centru pe jos la o distanta de 30 minute. Poti merge si la un restaurant aproape de locatie. Am primit o camera frumoasa, la parter unde trebuia sa te descalti de fiecare data cand intri. Camera cu ventilator, smart tv pret 120 euro/noapte si am stat 2 nopti. Dar privelistea din balcon merita banii. Micul dejun s-a servit la etaj. O alta priveliste cu ceata intermitenta si picaturelele de ploaie. Vremea a fost superba, se ridica soarele si te intampina la pranz. Ne-am plimbat si ... read more

Letzten Sonntag bin ich nach einem wieder guten Frühstück von Hallstatt aufgebrochen und zunächst nach Bad Ischl zur Kaiservilla gefahren. Dort konnte man nicht alles besichtigen, aber man hatte von außen einen guten Eindruck. Danach bin ich am Wolfgangsee vorbei in Richtung Grenze. Dieses Gewässer ist aber nicht so schön, wie das bei Hallstatt. Am Übergang bei Salzburg musste ich etwas warten und auch sonst war leichter Stau und Regen angesagt. Daher habe ich keinen Abstecher nach Bad Reichenhall gemacht. Abends bin ich dann endlich in Stuttgart angekommen.... read more

Letzten Samstag habe ich wieder mit Cornflakes, Brötchen, Ei, Kaffee und Orangensaft im Hotel am Ufer gefrühstückt und bin zur Schiffsanlegestelle, um eine Rundfahrt auf dem See zu machen. Zum Glück habe ich außen und halb im Schatten einen schönen Platz bekommen und es ging bei schönen Wetter pünktlich los. Das Schiff war gut gefüllt und viele trugen Masken. Nach der Fahrt bin ich mit der Zahnradbahn auf den Berg mit Aussichtsplatform und zur Salzmine gefahren, wo ich an einer 2-stündigen Tour teilgenommen habe. Auch das war sehr sehenswert. Was meine Füße betrifft, war ich da dann aber schon an der Belastungsgrenze und nach etwa funfeinhalb Stunden unterwegs bin ich zurück zum Hotel. Das Beinhaus und das archäologische Museum habe ich mir damit gespart. Abends habe ich Saibling (gibt es auch in diesem See) und Topfenstrudel ... read more

Vor einer Woche am Freitag hatte ich zuhause in München Home Office und bin am späten Nachmittag nach Hallstatt gefahren. Eigentlich hatte ich diesen Sommer eine mehrwöchige Reise nach Japan geplant und hätte vorher das 1. Mai-Wochenende in Hallstatt verbracht, aber durch Corona gab es eben Änderungen. An diesem Anreisetag gab es drei Herausforderungen. Die erste war die Grenze. Die war offen. Die zweite war der Parkplatz. Beinahe hätte ich in Hallstatt etwas außerhalb parken und zurück laufen müssen, aber es wurde gerade einer frei. Die dritte war mein Zimmer. Als ich am atemberaubenden Ort und See angekommen bin, habe ich mein Hotel leicht gefunden und dort hat man mir gesagt dass mein Zimmer storniert sei. Normalerweise buche ich über Hotel Reservation Service und das hat eigentlich immer geklappt, aber wenn das nicht ging, habe ich ... read more

Today would be one of the “less good” days of the trip. It's not that we had a bad time. Au contraire. It was just that a couple of annoying issues happened along the way. In the end things righted themselves but they put a damper on our day. The day started off with the clanging of the bell in the tiny village church at sunrise. I apparently fell back asleep rather quickly because we didn't make it downstairs to breakfast until after 8:00. Christina and her had mom created a delightful breakfast for us with a great assortment of treats one might expect at a 4 star hotel. The best part of it was the fact that almost all of it came from their farm. Fresh butter, milk, yoghurt, honey, cheeses and homemade breads. I ... read more

We left Salzburg by train, after a 7:00AM taxi ride which our hosts graciously arranged for us. The Salzburg train station is easy to find your way around in and we had purchased our tickets for Hallstatt there a few days earlier. The short train journey of less than 3 hours, including one quick train change around halfway, was through beautiful countryside and into the mountains dotted with small towns and the occasional castle. It was just starting to rain as we got off at the Hallstatt stop. There is a small building here in the wilderness at the side of the track and a path leads down to a small walk-on ferry to take you on a 15 minute ride across the lake to the town of Hallstatt. I remembered that our hotel was on ... read more

Hi I haven't posted anything in over three years... lots have happened back home and somehow I've been feeling that there's no point in updating anyone on my travels, as they are mere holidays now, just the way people take time off work and go on holidays, not the way I used to work and travel abroad.....Anyways, I don't know why but I just feel like picking up where I left off, so will do that without too much fuss and drama. I've been running a language centre in my hometown, quite successful I might add for the last 5 years. It's always our August Road Trip that keeps me going through the last school months when things usually go from busy to hectic. June and July mean Cambridge Exams, in addition this July it's meant ... read more

The weather was looking a bit dicey today so we weren’t sure what we would get up around Lake Halstatt where we were headed to visit the main attractions – the Ice Cave, Krippenstein the Five Finger Platform and Halstatt. We had biked in this area in 2013 and figured that Irvahn would love these sites so we bought a ticket that would take us on the Seilbahn to the Ice Cave and to the top of the mountain at Krippenstein. The Ice Cave is at the mid station where we got off, signed in for a tour, then walked slowly up the steep track to the cave entrance which takes about 15 minutes. We put on warm clothes and started the tour into the dry part of the cave which is part of a vast ... read more

Geo: 47.5573, 13.647We left Flaurling prepared for rain but had nothing but bright, sunny skies for our ride to Hallstatt. Outside of Salzburg, we encountered a lot of traffic, having to lane-split for nearly 13km before we could bypass the city in favor of the country roads. After that, it was a wonderful excursion through the pristine valleys and around several azure alpine lakes of the Salzkammergut, the area from Salzburg south towards Italy. We found our lodging for the coming week nestled against the side of a narrow road cut into a sheer wall of rock at the edge of beautiful Lake Hallstatt. After unloading our gear, we walked into the village where a festival was taking place. We enjoyed cheese-filled sausages and pastries for lunch with wine and beer, all accompanied by traditional Tyrolean ... read more

At the end of what is bound to be one hell of a long travelogue I plan to thank the many great Bimmerfesters out there who guided me through the whole ED and negotiating process. However, at this point I need to say "thanks" to all those Travelbloggers who urged me to find a way to get to Hallstatt in Austria. In our many years of travel throughout Europe one thing or another always seemed to prevent us from getting to that super picturesque little village. So many times I looked at that famous view of the little town hugging both the mirror-like lake and the towering Alps on her other shoulder and so many times I either got lost, snow derailed us or I just ran out of time. On our first full day of ... read more
