Discover the ultimate vantage point on Lake Hallstatt: The insider tip "Seeeraunzn" and your perfect home base in Bad Ischl

Anyone who thinks of the Salzkammergut region immediately pictures the picturesque scenery of Hallstatt. But away from the world-famous, often bustling postcard views lies a true gem for gourmets, overlooked even by many postcard tourists: the restaurant "Uferwirt Seeraunzn" .

Here, with a direct view of the shimmering Lake Hallstatt and the majestic Dachstein massif towards Gosau, you'll experience the Salzkammergut region at its most authentic. As the traditional wooden boats – known as "Plettn" – glide gently past, you'll be served freshly caught, locally sourced char (lake char). It's the perfect place to unwind and savor genuine culinary summer freshness.
