Salt Mines and Lakeside Solitude: Hallstatt, Austria
Thursday July 2, 2009
Hallstatt, Austria is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that can make for a very romantic lakeside vacation--yet there are plenty of things for kids to do, too. The family can zip up a mountain on a cable car to salt mines that have been in operation since the iron age, see an ancient burial ground, see less-ancient sculls and femurs in a local chapel, and perhaps take in a summer concert inside an ice cave.
Read all about Hallstatt in our Hallstatt, Austria Travel Guide or see some pictures in our Hallstatt Picture Gallery.

I appreciated on your details words on Travel Topic. I would like to check that you take a moment to view the blog. (http://thedirecttraveller.blogspot.com ).
While very new, this site has nearly all the features of the other sites with the personal touch you like (literally you will speak to me, the developer with any questions). The few features which are missing like the discounts are being change day to day now. In addition this site offers a few features the others do not, like the ability to create personal discussion groups and interface with blogs.
Please give us a look and maybe you will find a new favourite to recommend.
Thank you,
