Hallstatt is a picturesque mountain village in the Austrian alps. We went there with a couple from China with whom we are friends. Since they have small children, we had to focus on family-friendly activities. A favorite in Hallstatt is a tour through the historic salt mine, which includes a ride on a giant slide and on a train. We did a bicycle tour along the eastern shore of lake Hallstatt and a boat tour through its northern part. The main attractions in the Dachstein region are trips to the mountains. We went up to the Krippenstein near Obertraun, including a visit to an ice cave, and to the Zwieselalm near Gosau. For the kids, the waterpark in Russbach was a lot of fun.
