The Legendary Hallstatt

I saw many IG videos introducing this beautiful place, so I came to experience it myself. First, transportation wasn't difficult, you just need to be careful about the train's direction. Also, the official train website sells discount tickets, saving 4 euros per person, which is about 150 NTD, quite a good deal (save some money to eat grilled lake trout). The beauty of the scenery really depends on the weather and light of the day. I recommend using Salzburg as a base, and if the weather is good, go to Hallstatt first. For the experience, of course, it's the cable car + salt mine. The cable car first takes you to the highest point of Hallstatt, where you can explore and enjoy the view before heading to the salt mine to learn about the local history (this is one of Europe's very old settlements because everyone comes to buy salt). The salt mine is fun and interesting, allowing you to understand why salt is found in the mountains and how they extract it. Lastly, the grilled trout caught from the lake, I can say it was meaningful and delicious, but unfortunately, it was too small 😅. 24.9€ (Maybe the fish in Taiwan are just too big).
