JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. SALZKAMMERGUT HALLSTATT/AUSTRIA
There are scenes you simply cannot get enough of, Hallstatt no doubt is one of them. The picturesque location by the lake, the closely nested and towering houses, the flair of millenniums of history: all this makes Hallstatt one of the most liked photographed places in Austria.
It first came to the attention of tourists as far back as in imperial times. While the Emperor and his court made their summer retreat in nearby Bad Ischl, a motley entourage of artists always followed. And so painters, romantics and travel reporters quicklly spread the news of the beauty of Hallstatt across the region. Just like Alexander von Humboldt, for whom Hallstatt was "the most beautiful lakeside resort in the world."
The village with a population of 800 has lost nothing of his appeal to this date. People have been attracted for centuries to the village at the foot of the oldest, still operating salt mine in the world. The year 1997 marked a particularly important date in its more recent history. This was the year in which Hallstatt was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site and gained enormous public presence as a result.
