Experience the postcard-perfect scenery by staying one night at the Heritage Hotel in Hallstatt.

A trip to Eastern Europe brought us to the picturesque lakeside town of Hallstatt. With its emerald mountains, clear lake, drifting mist, and church bell tower, it forms a beautiful postcard scene! If you visit Hallstatt without staying a night, how can you experience the town's most beautiful dusk and dawn? Make sure to spend the extra money on a lake view room to truly immerse yourself in the scenery! The Heritage Hotel is located right next to the pier and the church, offering prime lake views. The hotel has two buildings, and we were assigned to the one perched on the hillside. Although it wasn't directly by the lake, the higher elevation provided even better lake views, complete with a private balcony overlooking Lake Hallstatt. It was fantastic. We booked two superior double rooms, with a rate of €353 per night excluding breakfast. It's not too expensive, considering the rooms are 22 square meters with a private balcony and a sofa lounge area. The room I stayed in was on the top floor with a slanted roof, and there was a skylight above the bed, allowing us to stargaze while lying in bed. It was truly exceptional. The town is incredibly peaceful and pleasant in the early morning and evening, unlike the crowded and noisy daytime. Staying one night is really worth it, as you can capture postcard-perfect scenes without any tourists, making it look like a painting.
