Hallstatt, Austria: Could Tourism Be HURTING This Austrian Village? 🧳✈️🏔️

Travel FOMO

Season 6 – Gap Year: Central Europe Episode 9 With only 750 official residents, the Austrian town of Hallstatt is reeling from the 10,000 visitors it receives each day. The beloved lakeside town resides in the Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut region, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known for being the inspiration for the village in the animated Frozen Disney movie, this tiny village struggles to thrive in an overbearing world of tourism. It’s so popular, in fact, that a replica was created in China. Join Jamin and Hilarie as they experience breathtaking moments in upper Austria, including their overnight stays at Hotel Haus Am See in Obertraun. Only a short cable car ride away, visitors can also enjoy hiking, paragliding and incredible mountain top views from the nearby Dachstein Krippenstein.
