When to go to Hallstatt?
Hallstatt maintains its status as a living postcard with a dedication bordering on obsession, from the Skywalk viewpoint to sandwiches priced like small heirlooms. The lakeside houses are so photogenic you half suspect a contract was signed, and the prehistoric salt mine returns everyone to daylight looking pleasantly haunted. Perfect escapism, spoilt only by the reminder that the car park is a brisk walk away.
