Ninety seconds on Hallstätter See
Take the boat at least once, even if you arrive by car. The crossing from the railway station on the far bank gives you the classic view of the village. Bring cash: the ferry takes nothing else.
Swimming is the point in summer. Three places are set up for it: the bathing island at the north end of the village, the recreation ground near Obertraun and the lido across at Bad Goisern.
Rowing boats, pedal boats and electric launches go out from the promenade. A path follows the east shore, with places to get in on the way.
The boat to the railway station is the everyday crossing. A longer sightseeing run south past Obertraun sails in summer.
