Altaussee
Altaussee is a small village on a deep green lake in the Styrian Salzkammergut, below the cliffs of the Totes Gebirge. It is a quiet place, long loved by writers, composers and painters.
The lake, the mountain paths and the old salt mine are the main draws. The village feels calm and traditional, and it is a short drive from Bad Aussee and Hallstatt.
