Hallstadt, Austria, autumn 2025 part 2

Hallstadt is a tiny city that looks like it was painted, too beautiful to be real. Set between steep enormous mountains and calm waters of crystal-clear lake. Yet it’s one of the oldest cities in Europe with history tracing back 7000 years ago.

History started when storages of salt were found here, so first inhabitants started to live here. Because of it the culture and historical value of this city is that much important. That days salt was extremely inportant not only for cooking and health but also for preserving food instead of fridges. Soon Hallstadt became a rich and prominent city of trading with convenient way on water.
