Hallstatt and the lake

Early morning cycle ride to Hallstatt …

by

Totally inspired by one of our lovely guest's amazing pictures - there followed a VERY early (??) pre-sunrise cycle ride to Hallstatt, the very next day!!

Here are ​a ​couple of pictures from this wonderful early morning adventure

​It can be pretty busy in Hallstatt - but, pre-dawn, the crowds have not yet arrived - and you can 'almost' have Hallstatt to yourself.  

​There were a few other dedicated / early photographers (including a professional photographer with a bride in her white gown, and her groom in front of the famous Hallstatt church view) - but it was peaceful, relaxing and altogether a worthwhile trip!
