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.

From the paid parking lot, we head along the Alerweg through the Echerntal Valley to Waldbachstrub. Many famous motifs have found motifs here for their paintings.
A path leads us …

A nice tour, easy to walk. With an impressive waterfall and very beautiful pools in the creek (glacier garden).
Hallstatt with the many international tourists on a 'quiet' day - almost a culture shock 😳
