RWK 1519 Dachstein Ausserland - Hallstatt

<p>The landscape on the Dachstein is unique. Rugged low mountain ridges frame the wide valley basin, in which tranquil meadows, picturesque side valleys, gentle, green mountain ridges, romantic high valleys and fjord-like lakes are hidden. On a walk around Lake Hallstatt or Lake Gosau, new, fascinating views of the Dachstein mountains, dense forests and green alpine pastures open up again and again. The charming villages will delight you with their old wooden farmhouses decorated with flowers. The Inner Salzkammergut region is steeped in history. As early as the Hallstatt period, which took its name from this region, people settled here along the River Traun. Salt, the white gold of past centuries, brought prosperity and ensured lively trade.</p
