Salzkammergut's Unmissable Gems

Salzkammergut spans Upper Austria, Salzburg, and Styria, defined by its 76 lakes and the Dachstein mountain range. This UNESCO World Heritage region features the world’s oldest salt mines in Hallstatt and the imperial summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph I in Bad Ischl. Highlights include the Dachstein Ice Caves, the 19th-century Schafbergbahn cog railway, and high-altitude viewing platforms like '5 Fingers.' The area is also characterized by Gmunden’s traditional ceramics and the clear waters of Lake Wolfgang and Almsee.
