Just an hour from the city of Salzburg is the idyllic town of Hallstatt. This village truly has it all: charming houses, a beautiful lake and authentic Austrian restaurants that are surrounded by massive mountains. It's so picturesque that there's even a housing development in China modeled after the original village.
