The classic viewpoint of Hallstatt is the most photographed location in Austria and one of the most famous Instagram spots in the world. From this small hill north of town you can capture the iconic view featured on every postcard - the Evangelical Church with its pointed spire colorful lakeside houses and majestic Dachstein peaks in the background. The spot is completely free and accessible 24 hours but the best light for photography is early morning when the water is calm and reflects the buildings like a mirror. Arrive before 7am in summer to avoid crowds and capture perfect reflections
