Excursions in Hallstatt

Nestled in the heart of Austria's Salzkammergut region, Hallstatt is a picturesque village that seems to have leapt straight out of a fairytale. At Foxiepass, we're passionate about sharing the wonders of this UNESCO World Heritage site with visitors from around the globe. Our guided tours offer an intimate look at Hallstatt's most captivating attractions, ensuring you don't miss a single enchanting moment.

The Iconic Hallstatt Skywalk

Let's kick things off with a heart-pounding adventure, shall we? Our tour often begins with a visit to the Hallstatt Skywalk, affectionately known as the "World Heritage View." Perched 360 meters above the ground, this viewing platform offers a bird's-eye view of the village and surrounding mountains that'll make your jaw drop. Trust me, even if heights aren't your thing, the panorama is worth every nervous step!

Hallstatt Salt Mine: A Journey Through Time

Next up, we'll delve deep into Hallstatt's salty past – literally! The Salt Mine tour is a crowd favorite, and for good reason. As we descend into the mountain, you'll feel like you're traveling back in time. The highlight? Sliding down the miners' slides, of course! It's impossible not to giggle like a kid as you whoosh down these wooden chutes. Just remember to tuck in your elbows!

Echern Valley and Waldbachstrub Waterfall

For nature lovers, our excursion to the Echern Valley is a must. The trail winds through lush forests and alpine meadows, leading to the spectacular Waldbachstrub Waterfall. The thundering cascade is a sight to behold, and the mist on your face is refreshing after the hike. It's the perfect spot for those Instagram-worthy shots, so make sure your phone is charged!

Hallstatt's Charming Town Center

No visit to Hallstatt is complete without exploring its postcard-perfect town center. Our guided walk takes you through narrow alleys lined with pastel-colored houses, each more charming than the last. We'll stop by the central square, where you can admire the beautiful Holy Trinity statue and perhaps grab a coffee at one of the cozy cafes. And let's not forget the iconic view of the village from the lake – it's so picturesque, you'll think you've stepped into a painting!

Hallstatt Ossuary (Bone House)

For those with a taste for the unusual, we offer a visit to the Hallstatt Ossuary. Now, I know what you're thinking – a room full of skulls? But trust me, it's fascinating! This tiny chapel holds over 1,200 skulls, many of them hand-painted with intricate designs. It's a unique and somewhat eerie glimpse into local traditions and beliefs about life and death.
