The Salzkammergut has 76 lakes, and the locals love some just as much as famous Hallstatt. Here are our favourites.
Hallstätter See
The icon — the lake that frames Hallstatt itself, mirror-still on a calm morning.
Gosausee
Our quiet stunner: a small lake that reflects the Dachstein glacier on its surface. A short, easy lakeside walk is one of the region’s most beautiful.
Wolfgangsee
Storybook villages line its shores — St. Wolfgang with its famous White Horse Inn, and pretty St. Gilgen.
Fuschlsee & Mondsee
Smaller and serene, perfect for a peaceful stop — Mondsee’s basilica is the “Sound of Music” wedding church.
Which to combine?
Hallstatt + Gosausee + Wolfgangsee make a perfect day. We string the best together on our Salzkammergut Lakes tour.
