When we were allowed to travel within Austria again, I leapt at the opportunity to visit Hallstatt, before summer when the tourists would be back. Hallstatt is normally incredibly busy, indeed overrun, with people. To have it literally all to myself was magical. I soaked up this moment of peace and tranquillity and watched the awesome view over the lake towards the mountains as the sun was rising and the village began to wake up. Hallstatt is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Hallstatt, Upper Austria, is a village in the Salzkammergut, a region in Austria. It is located at the Hallstätter See (a lake).
Hallstatt is known for its production of salt, dating back to prehistoric times, and gave its name to the Hallstatt culture, a culture often linked to Celtic, Proto-Celtic, and pre-Illyrian peoples in Early Iron Age Europe, c.800–450 BC. Some of the earliest archaeological evidence for the Celts was found in Hallstatt.
In 1997 Hallstatt was added to the Unesco world heritage list.
On 16 June 2011, plans to build a replica of this village in China were first reported. On 2 June 2012, it was reported that Chinese mining company China Minmetals Corporation built a full-scale replica of the entire town in Huizhou, Guangdong province.

Once accessible only by boat through the rivers, this picturesque town in the Austrian Alps is truly one of the most beautiful places I have visited. Now thousands of tourists engulf the town each week, eating schnitzels, drinking fine beers and taking in the sights. The town is so wonderful that a Chinese mining firm actually built a full scale replica of the town in Huizhou, Gunangdong provice.
This was a five minute exposure using the Lee Little Stopper. I hope to get back one day soon!
Wintry sunset at Hallstatt, Austria, blue hour version will be coming soon. Hallstatt is so popular with the selfie crowd, the town will soon be officially renamed Selfiestatt.
Thanks for the comments, it will take me a long time to catch up, I came back home from the recent trip to find a dead modem, and had no internet access for the past week, also I haven't had a chance to look at the photos from the recent trip, I will upload leftovers from the past in the meantime.
On the eve of heading off to Europe to escape the terrible weather we have been experiencing in Sydney, I thought it was only fitting to post a shot from my last trip to Europe. This is another version of my earlier post from Hallstatt, one of the most picturesque locations I have ever been to.
Nestled between a stunning lake and dominating alps, Hallstatt is so beautiful that there has even been a replica town built in China!
I hope you enjoy my work and thanks for dropping by!

Hallstatt is a small town in Upper Austria, located between Lake Hallstätter See and the Dachstein massif, in Salzkammergut region.
It is well known for its pittoresque beauty and thus an absolute touristic hotspot.
Hallstatt is a small town in the district of Gmunden, in the Austrian state of Upper Austria. Situated between the southwestern shore of Hallstätter See and the steep slopes of the Dachstein massif, the town lies in the Salzkammergut region, on the national road linking Salzburg and Graz.
The image above might be the most photographed spot in Austria. The town center was even replicated by the Chinese Quangdong province. Social media has made this village so famous there are moves to actually restrict the number of visitors each day. That said, iconic photo spots are iconic for a reason and seeing this beautiful town in person should definitely be on your travel bucket list.
