Hallstatt, also unofficially Hallstatt am Hallstätter See, is a market town in the Salzkammergut region of Upper Austria in Austria and is located on Lake Hallstatt. Together with the Dachstein and the Inner Salzkammergut, it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Hallstatt-Dachstein/Salzkammergut. According to findings in an extensive burial ground above the village, a period of the older Iron Age (800 to 450 BC) is referred to as the Hallstatt period. Hallstatt is located in the inner Salzkammergut on the western shore of Lake Hallstatt. On the narrow shore strip between the lake and the steep mountain slope, the houses are crowded close together, some of them even built with piles into the lake.
