This tiny, unique village on the steep side of a Dachstein foothill above the waters of the solemn Hallstättersee, is traversed by one narrow road - restricted to residents and delivery vehicles - which is regulated by five-minute stoplights at each end of town. Its train station is on the lake's opposite shore. Hotels and food are simple and there is little nightlife.
