Hallstatt recreational area

Because you enjoy bathing

Summer, sun - cooling down. The 21 km long Lake Hallstatt in the Salzkammergut offers bathing fun and water adventure for all ages. Fabulously embedded into the natural landscape, the recreation area, with a large car park, is located about 2 kilometers from the centre of Hallstatt in the direction of Obertraun. The large bathing area offers a unique panoramic view over the fjord-like Lake Hallstatt and the World Heritage town of Hallstatt. Besides the many barbeque areas, sunbathers can purchase small snacks and cold drinks from the snack bar. However here it is not just about bathing and splashing about. The crystal clear water also offers special experiences when diving, fishing and riding an electric boat ...

No matter what your mood or desire is, Lake Hallstatt has lots to offer. From soaking up the rays on the shore to every kind of sporting activity on the lake. The important thing is that it's fun! Well rested and tanned, in the evening you can be spoiled with culinary delights of the excellent hospitality on Lake Hallstatt.

Please note!
How do storm warning beacons work?

Whether you’re out in a rental boat from one of the numerous rental agencies on Lake Hallstatt or underway in your own vessel, there is always a potential for storms or high waves on the lake. Storm warning beacons call attention to the weather conditions in the area. The storm warning beacons (an orange, blinking spotlight) are positioned in the north and south so that at least one signal is visual from any point on the lake.

In this manner, water enthusiasts can be immediately warned in the event of strong winds or storms. You should be aware of and heed the respective signals. A quickly rotating light signifies an approaching storm. You should leave the water immediately!

A slowly rotating light means that a storm can arise at some point in the near future. You may remain on the water but stay close to shore. Should you find yourself in a dangerous situation, call the emergency number 130. Your boat rental agency is available to answer additional questions. We hope you have a memorable and safe outing on Lake Hallstatt.
