A gathering place for the elite of the Salzkammergut

It may not be an accident that Emperor Franz Joseph the Great set up his summer palace in the Salzkammergut, and artists drew inspiration here to produce stunning works. As early as a thousand years ago, the Salzkammergut was already the heartland of European culture. Hallstatt, Bad Icher, Gmunden, Lake Altaussee, Lake Attersee, Lake Mondsee and St. Wolfgang are just a few of the Salzmergut sites, which are rich in history. It's too long to be mentioned in detail. However, the culture here has not become outdated. Folk culture and elegant culture, tradition and innovation are in harmony here, and a hundred flowers are blooming. The oldest area of ??the Salzkammergut culture has a history of 7,000 years. Since December 1997, the "Hallstatt-Dachstein/Salzkammergut" area has been included in the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO. The Hallstatt District's colorful natural scenery, long cultural history, unique caves, and diverse flora and fauna are so elusive that it is well-deserved to become a world cultural and natural heritage.

Bad Isher is known as the "intimate capital of the Salzkammergut", where the characteristics of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are particularly vivid. Bad Isher is famous for the regimen of Duke Franz Karl and Princess Sophie. This marriage, which was not a happy one, bore fruitful fruits. Soon after, their three sons were born. One of them was Emperor Franz Joseph. He and his wife Elisabeth, also known as "Sissi", liked to recuperate here very much. Of course there is a reason for this. At that time, Bart Isher created a good healing environment for the guests, giving people a different feeling every time, such as the legendary "Villa the Great" and the Habsburg The summer palace of the dynasty. Today, every ordinary person can visit the royal residences and hunting trophies of the past. If you are lucky, you can also catch a glimpse of the descendants of the royal family living on the left side of the castle.

The Bishop Michael's Church on the shores of Lake Mond is a cultural treasure located near Salzburg and is a Catholic Benedictine monastery built in the 12th century. It is one of the largest Gothic churches in Austria and its interior decoration is extremely gorgeous. The wedding of the hero and heroine Trapp and Maria in the movie "The Sound of Music" can be said to be a masterpiece in the history of film. This wedding in the 1960s was held in this parish church on the shores of Lake Mond, so this church is also called the Sound of Music Church. As early as decades ago, this parish church had become famous around the world and attracted many overseas tourists.

In St. Wolfgang or Gmunden, one can find traces of legendary works in film history, such as "The Little White Horse" or "Castle Hotel". And you can breathe the atmosphere of history and the elite of the times everywhere, even at a small corner. From Gustav Klimt to Christian Ludwig, from Hugo von Hofmannslta to Klaus Maria Brandauer, or from Gus Taft Mahler to Hubbard von Gervassen.
