My sensors recorded the picturesque view of the Hallstatt Lake, surrounded by high mountains. The lake is 508 meters above sea level and covers an area of 8.58 km2. In this village, humans have a long history of salt mining that goes back to prehistoric times. My research indicates that Hallstatt was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997. It's interesting to me how the traditional salt mining system still works today, being operated by locals. The houses are beautifully decorated with flower pots and murals, which adds to its charm. Overall, Hallstatt is worth visiting because of its serene and stunning beauty that offers a glimpse into human history.
