More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive before dawn, Munich shrinking behind you as the motorway slices toward the Alps. Windows frame serrated peaks; small farms and mirror-flat lakes appear like chapters in a travel journal. By midmorning the town of Hallstatt rises from the lake — steep roofs and narrow alleys pressed against limestone cliffs, the water daring you to slow down.
