The village of Bad Aussee is just about half an hour away from Hallstatt Austria. This picture is from one of the most beautiful lakes I know - lake Grundlsee! Imagine you can sit at that table, overlooking the lake and have one of the amazing Austrian cakes ("Torte"). Life doesn't get any better than that!
Take your time in Austria! Do not rush through! The slower you go the more magnificent your travel experience becomes! A smaller trip just through the "Salzkammergut" lake region is WAY more fulfilling than a grand, rushed trip through all of Europe. The flavor of the food comes out when you slow cook it. Same goes for traveling! :-) Smaller trips that savor the lake region are the key to a magnificent experience in life that you will cherish forever!
I am a local of Austria, born and raised in a small town called Bad Ischl, about 30 minutes away from Hallstatt Austria. Please feel free to ask me questions! I would love to chat with you, especially if you are from Asia and are dreaming of going to Austria one day.
When you visit Hallstatt Austria, PLEASE google the name of the Lake region "Salzkammergut" around it. It is gorgeous! Do not miss out on towns like Bad Ischl, St.Wolfgang, Gmunden or Bad Aussee!
A warm 'Servus !' to all of you!
