The Hallstatt Scene - Hallstattersee (the lake)

This is another view from our deck at the Gasthof Simony. We should mention, in case anyone thinks this is a perfect vacation spot, we were here on May 10, evidently about one week before their high season. And from what we heard, you would not want to be here during high season. The world does know about this place, perhaps thanks to Rick Steves, and we think all the magic would disappear if there were too many people - or should we say, any people at all.
