Evangelische Pfarrkirche Hallstatt

Evangelische Pfarrkirche Hallstatt is the iconic Lutheran church in Hallstatt, famous for its tall spire overlooking Hallstätter See. Built in the 19th century, the church is one of the most photographed landmarks in Hallstatt.

Approaching Hallstatt

Hallstatt Bahnhof

The station is located on the opposite side of Hallstatt See from Hallstatt. We had to take a ferry across the lake to reach the town. We did not take the first boat across because we wanted to take some photos here.

Salzburg to Hallstatt

There is no direct train from Salzburg to Hallstatt. We had to change trains at Attnang-Puchheim. We took the 9.11 train and arrived in Hallstatt about 2 hours later.
