It's true that I was on foot. It's true that I stayed in Pauline's attic and picked at runny eggs three mornings in a row. It's true that I rented a bike from an extraordinarily crass bike rental guy named Eddie.
Despite all of these things, it's true that I fell head over heels for Hallstatt, Austria.
Nestled in the Austrian Alps, right on the lake, is fairytale land, otherwise known as Hallstatt. And if this is what the "end of the world" looks like, as dubbed by a few locals, then, well, I'll take it.
I fell hard for Hallstatt. Here's 14 reasons why:
1. It looks stellar from any angle:
2. Because...fairytales
3. It glows at dusk
4. Hotdog paninis
5. Sausage
6. Impromptu Oompa concerts on balconies
7. Swan staring contests
8. Boat rides across the lake
9. Street wanderings
10. OODLES OF CHARM. OODLES
11. This
12. And this
13. Oh, and this
14. Bam.
Alas, Hallstatt, how I love thee.
