Hallstätter See ( lake ) from the Salzkammergut village of Hallstatt, Oberösterreich ( Upper Austria )

Salt was a valuable resource, so the region was historically very wealthy. It is possible to tour the world's first known salt mine, located above the village of Hallstatt. The village also gave its name to the early Iron Age Hallstatt culture and is a World Heritage Site for Cultural Heritage.
