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!
An interesting read by the Telegraph about Hallstatt (5 minutes away) and our local town of Bad Ischl (about 25 minutes away) … World history on the doorstep …
