Un muy frio pero bonito pueblo...
Halstatt is set on piles in one of the Gosau lakes, the Halstδttersee. An intricate system of intersecting timber ramps, butresses and ascending terraces like hanging gardens creates an air of mystery, the eerie beauty of mirage, a village lost in the middle-mist of fable. The mountain flanks rise sheer from the lake, leaving no room for a road.
Prehistoric remains found on this site have given the name of the Hallstatt Culture to the Iron Age. Thousands of years before the birth of Christ, the salt deposits in Hallstatt brought tribes across the mountains to this improbably remote spot from points as far away as the Carpathian Mountains in Romania. From that early time, until the close of the 19th Century, the mines have been a bone of contention for "every helmeted dog in Europe to snap at," as the 19th-century Count Rudolf of Habsburg is supposed to have shouted to the Archbishop of Bern. |

Hello José,
What a compelling photo of Hallstat, composed magnificently, and exposed exquisitely! I was in the area in a much more mild time of year, but it was almost as beautiful.
Regards from Virginia,
Bulent
