Hallstatt station

Hallstatt47°34′ N 13°40′ EStation

Hallstatt station stands on the far shore of the Hallstätter See from the village, so every rail arrival ends with a short boat crossing. Walk down from the platform to the landing and board the MS Stefanie, which Hallstättersee-Schifffahrt runs between the station and Hallstatt Markt every day of the year. The boat lands you on the village waterfront, and the Marktplatz with its Christmas market sits just up from the pier. Pick a weekday if you can, since the village is small and fills up on Advent weekends.
