You step into a highway that unspools like a film reel — green foothills slide past, lakes flash silver, and the Alps push the sky into a sharper blue. By mid-morning the bus eases into Hallstatt’s narrow street by the lake; houses lean toward the water as if to listen. The village feels deliberate and small, every window a postcard.
