Lake Hallstatt
Hallstätter See
Lake Hallstatt (Hallstätter See) is a lake in the Salzkammergut in Upper Austria, between the Dachstein massif and the surrounding hills, with the village of Hallstatt on its south-western shore.
Why go
Lake Hallstatt is the lake on whose south-western shore the village of Hallstatt stands, in the Salzkammergut in Upper Austria. The Hallstatt municipal site describes it as lying between the Dachstein massif and the surrounding hills and gives an area of about 8.55 km², a length of about 8.5 km, a greatest width of 2.5 km and a greatest depth of 125 metres. The lake is shared by several municipalities: Wikidata lists Hallstatt, Obertraun and Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee, so it is not treated as part of Hallstatt. This record is the lake as an area; its pin is a point on the water, not a pier, a beach or a boat landing.
