• Basilika St. Michael - Nestled in the scenic landscape between Mondsee and Irrsee lakes, the town of Mondsee is home to the renowned St. Michael’s Wedding Basilica. This basilica gained fame as the wedding venue for Maria and Captain von Trapp in the globally acclaimed musical, The Sound of Music. Since then, it has hosted over 400 weddings. Dating back to the 12th century, the basilica is a symbol of Mondsee and ranks among Austria’s largest Gothic churches. It received its lavish decoration between the 17th and 18th centuries. The site’s history extends further back, originally housing the Mondsee monastery, established in 748. After 800, the “Mondsee Matthew,” the oldest German Bible translation, was penned here. Following the monastery’s dissolution in 1791, the building was transformed into a castle and now serves as a hotel. The lake is noted as one of the warmest in the Salzkammergut region.
• Hallstatt - Hallstatt is a delightful town situated on the edge of a stunning lake, home to the world’s oldest salt mines. Its exceptional location in the Salzkammergut makes it a top tourist attraction. Hallstatt’s charm is so admired in China that an exact replica of the town was constructed there. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hallstatt offers a variety of activities. Visitors can sail on the lake, stroll through streets lined with wooden houses on stilts, explore the ice cave, slide down the salt slide, or hike while enjoying breathtaking mountain views. The archaeological discoveries around Hallstatt are so pivotal that they have named a cultural period, the Hallstatt culture, after them. These artifacts are displayed in the local museum. Just above Hallstatt, visitors can explore the world’s oldest salt mine, complete with a skywalk for capturing perfect photos.
