Autumnal mountain experience

Below the local mountain of the people of Hallstatt, the Plassen, and high above Lake Hallstatt, one of the most popular mountain services in the Salzkammergut takes place. The fair at the Hoher Wasserstollen is so popular with guests and locals because it is easy to reach on foot from the mountain station of the Salzberg cable car.

Many ways to get to the mountain fair

It is also possible to take a shuttle taxi directly to the place of action. And where else can you find that? All important details can be found below in "Information at a glance". And if you want to go on a cobbler's horse and "make a pilgrimage" to the mountain mass, you can do so from the village in about 2 1/2 hours walking time. In good autumn weather, this is a real adventure tip, when the forest above Hallstatt shows off its entire colour palette.

Hiking or salt mine?

By the way, participation in this mountain fair can easily be combined with a visit to the salt mines of Hallstatt. A visit to the oldest salt mine and a view from the Hallstatt Skywalk can easily be incorporated into a varied day on the Salt Mountain. Or you can simply hike back to Hallstatt via the Echerntal. This tour takes about 1 1/2 hours and leads past the historic glacier garden.
