[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hallstadt is a beautiful Austrian village.

It stands on the left bank of the dark, brooding Hallstättersee in the Salzkammergut, at the province's southernmost tip, bordering Land Salzburg and Styria. Hallstatt is the oldest still-inhabited village in Europe, owing its longevity to the local deposits of salt. Its perch against a mountain on a rocky terrace overlooking the Hallstättersee seems like a curious place to build a town, but this was the site of an early Iron Age culture dating from 800 to 400 B.C.

It’s just the right size (1,200 people), wonderfully remote, and almost traffic-free. It’s a toy town. You can tour it on foot in about 10 minutes. Hallstatt was declared a World Heritage Site in 1997 by UNESCO.

Szia Tibor!
Gyönyörű osztrák falu, nagyon szeretem azt az országot és az ilyen kis hangulatos hegyi településeit. Szép felvétel, pengeéles épületek, kék tó, zöld hegyek.
Gratulálok,
Üdv.:
Kristóf

Hi Tibor,
