I've been to Hallstat twice in 10 years (2023 the last time). It's a strikingly beautiful tiny gem of a place but I think you only need to visit it once and be done. Business there are closed most of the weekends, the only open restaurant option was very expensive, it's crowded and it takes 4 hours from Vienna to get there. One visit is enough in my opinion, try to spend more time in Salzburg instead.
Haven't been to Austria but have been to Switzerland (Zürich) and Southern Germany (Munich, Neuschwanstein) back in the 90s. Would love it if you also did a video of the Wilder Kaiser region (Ellmau, Hall in Tyrol, Scheffau) as depicted in the popular TV series "BERGDOKTOR" with Hans Sigl as "Dr. Martin Gruber".
We did the day trip from Vienna. The ferry brought us across the lake in no time. Walked through the old town, and admired the nerve of those living at the base of these cliffs! Like our host, we rode the funicular to the salt mine, took the amazing tour, then exited to the breathtaking overlook. Appetite’s now stimulated, we had lunch at the Restaurant next to the overlook, then rode back down-exhausted. We did some more sightseeing, watching the Swans glide across the surface of the lake. We caught the last Ferry and then the train back to Vienna’s HBF. Slept pretty soundly as a result. Many memories of dramatic views and tunneled depths in our dreams that night-and we’re in our late 60’s. Thanks for the refresher Hannah!

The city of Bad Ischl, Austria always is very beautiful and paradise and also the town of Hallstatt, Austria is the most wonderful of the Europe 😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤
LOVE YOU HANNAH !! .. looking foward to meet you anytime SOON ! .. from a small and most beautiful Island in the middle of The Caribbean... I SEND YOU MY HEART !! 💝
Just quick clearance - It's absolutely NOT taking 2 hour to go up to the view point above Hallstatt. I mean it can, but there is a pavement path straight from the village (just behind the Shop or at the end via stairs to the waterfall - this way is even easier tbh) and it takes around 30 -35 minutes for a normal healthy person without any endurance issues or another immobilities. I also ran up and down couple of times, and this takes around 15min up and 10 down if you are a decent runner. But yea taking the gondola is easier but it's pricy. One way ticket was around 16 euro and both ways 22 in 2024.
Hello from Indonesia 🇮🇩 Many DW traveler videos have captivated me, and I aspire to become a reporter for DW traveler. How can I achieve this? I'm still in college, and my major isn't related to media, I study English literature. However, I really want to join DW traveler 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I have been there recently. Most of the tourists are from Asia. Hallstatt is very beatiful but has negative sides. I would not recommend to visit this place because it is too crowded and the locals are actually not happy with tourists and wish for them to go away. You should go to other places just as beautiful in Austria but more accommodating to tourists.
@@DWTravel Yes I know. But people from all over the world are watching this and want to take a picture for Instagram. The people of Hallstatt feel sorry for me.
I can "tell" the host truly loves her job!!! Makes for a better show, Thanks DW for another good hire...

Beautiful views
Hallstat is a postcard place.
Exactly beautiful as it looks in the picture.
Train journey to this place also worth it.
It has one of the highest suicide rates in austria. Because of the high mountains it gets nearly no sunlight in winter.
5 star presentation
Hannah!, you are my favourite DW Travel presenter, big fan of your unique style!👍👌♥️
LOVE YOU HANNAH !! .. looking foward to meet you anytime SOON ! .. from a small and most beautiful Island in the middle of The Caribbean... I SEND YOU MY HEART !! 💝
I just got my passport application today. I hope one day i can stamp it with a visit to Austria
Fly into Munich..train to Austria😊
Great video! For all those with experience there - how easy is to get to Bad Ishi by train? Would you need a car after that or can do without one?
Don't forget to Include St.Gilgen
St. Gilgen and the Wolgangsee look very charming as well.
I love watching your videos❤
I have a problem, I don't know which is more beautiful, Salzkammergut or Hannah.
Hello! Does Hannah have her own blog?!
No, but check out her instagram: instagram.com/hannah_hummel_/
My fav Hannah Hummel 😍 Lov❤ Dw Travel documentary
I know I should visit Salzkammergut, the question is HOW
Me gusta el vídeo pero no entiendo porque los subtítulos no funcionan en el idioma que eliges cuando habla el alcalde de la ciudad 😮😒.
The reporter is so cute❤❤❤

22 Euros? Compare that to stuff in Switzerland??? Cheap!🤔🤣
Fulfill, the amended commandment " Thou Shall TRAVEL and support the INDUSTRY ! " as a necessity in LIFE ?

Such a pretty women in such a wonderful town what are the chances 👀👀
She is only one person. :-)
11:53 "Diversity isn't so big here" Im pretty sure its "Not so Big" in Nigeria either
The city seems a painting
I can't imagine what it's like to live in Hallstatt with all these tourists. This is crazy. Stop doing commercials for this small town.
This is not a commercial but a report.

😮😮😮
Why is the video quality so low definition? Amateurs youtubers do it better.
Allthough you could be my daughter......you are so sweet. Dont worry, I wont stalk you ;)
I think it's funny to watch these europeans complaining about overtourism...I'm from South America. Here we fight to have more tourists...😂😂😂
As a local, please do not bring more tourists here. We get nothing from the money that tourists bring. We only get nuisance.
Of course you have to bring up diversity and race. Ruined it for me...
ahhh ... austria ... where you can say hello to your russian spy neighbor!
Russia it was the best 1 2 Sälzburg
I had seen her video today ! Didn’t like.. to much her,s looks than the contents ….
leave the locals alone
Salt art is a joke. Modern art be ause of some , has degrade art.
