Halstatt

I had been in Salzburg for four days and was growing restless. The city was an eyeful with lovely garden places, architecture and plenty of internet sites to see. At the finish of the day though, it was nevertheless a city. And an expensive city at that!

Flipping by means of my guidebook, a nearby I had produced friends with advised I take a day trip to the little town of Halstatt. As I looked below H in the index, he told me I wouldnt uncover it in the book and I ought to just trust him. Off to the train station we went.

Sitting on the train, I soon met a fellow traveler heading to Halstatt. We chatted as the train puttered up into some of the most outstanding mountains Id ever seen. Soon we were operating between the face of a mountain and a deep blue lake. The train stopped and he indicated this was our stop. There was a small shack, but no other buildings a lot much less a small town. I started to suspect my buddy in Salzburg had pulled on more than on me.

Out of nowhere, a little ferry pulled up to our shack. On we hopped and off we went across the lake. As we closed in on the far shore, a tiny town started to take shape. Swiss chalets, swans, cobble stone streets, outdoor cafes andno vehicles. None.

Halstatt turned out to run about a mile along the shore of the lake. It was like something out of heaven. It is amazing how quiet issues are when there are no cars, mopeds, trucks and other automobiles. Frankly, it was surreal.

I rented a room in a chalet directly on the shore of the lake. My window looked out more than the lake. As the evening wound down, it was hard to picture a a lot more peaceful place in the world. The morning was more remarkable.

Halstatt is located at a really high point in the Alps, which had a surprising impact. Lying in bed, I stared out my window into what looked like a television set gone bad. It was totally grey. Walking to the window, I was stunned to comprehend we were so higher the clouds had settled roughly 20 feet above the lake. Words fail me, but it was a single of the most extraordinary factors Ive ever seen. There was total silence, a slowly swirling cloud cover becoming reflected by the lake and swans floating around. Genuinely a web site to behold.

Halstatt is a tough a single-day excursion from Salzburg? The difficulty lies in leaving. I stayed for a week!
