The road unwinds from Vienna into a corridor of green—rolling farmland gives way to craggy peaks as the Alps push the horizon into a serrated line. By midmorning the bus pauses at Traunsee; the lake dares you to look away as Traunstein rises like a shuttered cliff. In Hallstatt the village compresses time: narrow streets, wooden houses clinging to the lakeshore, and the Skywalk jutting over the valley like a deliberate plunge-point for the eyes.
