Hallstatt, Austria http://www.myvideomedia.de English see below [dt.] Hallstatt im Salzkammergut, liegt am Hallstätter See im Bundesland Oberösterreich. Noch Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts war Hallstatt lediglich per Schiff oder über schmale Pfade zu erreichen. Dennoch verfügt der Ort über eine reiche Geschichte. Erste Funde datieren aus der Zeit um 5.000 v.Chr. Der Grund für die frühe Siedlungstätigkeit lag im Salzbergbau. Das älteste Bergwerk der Welt ist im Rahmen von Führungen zugänglich. Die erste Soleleitung der Welt wurde bereits im 19. Jahrhundert nach Ebensee am Traunsee verlegt. Die Häuser der eng bebauten Ortschaft liegen meist direkt am See und waren bis zum Bau einer Straße nur über die Dachböden von oben erreichbar. Die anderen schmiegen sich malerisch an die steil ansteigenden Berghänge. Seit Dezember 1997 ist die Region Hallstatt - Dachstein / Salzkammergut in der Liste der UNESCO-Welterbe. [en.] Hallstatt a small town in the Salzkammergut is located at the south-western shore of the Hallstätter See in upper Austria. Till the end of the 19.th Century Hallstatt could only be reached by ship or narrow paths. Nevertheless the place has a rich history. First finds date from around 5.000 B.C. The reason for the early settlement activities and the prosperity lays in the salt mining. The first brine line of the world to the small town Ebensee was built in the 19.th Century. Guided tours to the world´s oldest salt mine are available. The houses of the narrow village are located directly at the lake. Before the road has been built they were attainable only from above over the attics. The others nestle picturesquely to the steeply rising mountainside. Since December 1997 the region Hallstatt - Dachstein / Salzkammergut is part of the UNESCO list of Cultural Heritage.
