It's a great feeling to stand up here and look down on the town and the lake. Every step is worth the view. I would go up there again and again.

View towards Hallstatt

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the vantage point in the glacier garden you have a breathtaking view down to the valley, to Hallstatt and Lake Hallstatt. No wonder that the painters used to wander up to capture the unique panorama in their pictures.

narrow canyons

From Hallstatt on the Malerweg along the Waldbach a bit up towards the Gletschergarten. There turn right over to the waterfalls of the Waldbach. Before that, a visit to the Eulenloch.
