With recommendation from Rick Steves, myself and some friends, traveled to a small Austrian town called Hallstatt. This village has historically been known for its production of salt. Today Hallstatt has a little over 900 inhabitants. We took a train from Vienna to Hallstatt...

And then a short ferry to the town...

| The salt mines were unfortunately closed on the day we visited because it was a Sunday. |

| Awesome town that feels very secluded, yet durning a more touristy time may be less enjoyable, because of its small size. |

| Neat Wooden Statue |
Goodbye Hallstatt!
