Natural spectacle

"Magical Minute" and "Blue Hour"

Those who go to bed too early whilst on holiday or for whom their “best friend” in the morning is the snooze button on their alarm clock, will miss incredible natural spectacles in the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut: The “magical minute” when the sun rises over the mountain peaks and the majestic Dachstein is immersed in a blinding orange light. Or in the evening, the "blue hour" when between day and night the firmament shimmers dark blue and the first stars emerge. Natural spectacles in a class of their own - not only for nature lovers but also for amateur photographers and hikers.

Here comes the sun.....

Here, the sunrise, and particularly the sunset trips, organised as part of the “Obertrauner Wanderherbst” (Obertraun Autumn Hiking) are amongst the most popular events in the holiday region of Dachstein Saltkammergut and around the Lake Hallstatt for visitors from around the world. Also the numerous “Glücksplätze” (places of happiness) in the Salzkammergut have their own personal charms: Relax, take a deep breath or just let your mind wander - "just awesome and impressive" according to many travellers after visiting the incredible energetic places. Whether in the mountains or on the many lakes of the Salzkammergut region - we wish you a relaxing holiday in the heart of Austria
