Hallstatt - 18/05

Mainland Europe - Day 23
Vienna --> Salzkammergut --> Hallstatt

The hills are alive with the sound of ...... our poor car, fully loaded, climbing to 3,000+ metres. And the journey was more then worth it. Photos can never do these places justice but we gave it a go.

It was sunny and warm but there were still strips of unmelted ice slicing through alpine peeks. The sky was a deep cloudless blue. The lakes and rivers were aqua-green from glacial melt.

All in all it was an absolutely idyllic setting, and we managed to score a fantastic place to stay, on the banks of a lake in the town of Hallstatt.

The whole area is a ski destination in winter so the following day we took a trip up on a gondola up the mountain, the view was something else. More inadequate photos were taken before it was time to hit the road again.

For sheer beauty, Austria has definitely been one of the highlights so far.
