You buy all the way to Hallstatt Lahn and it covers all the transers. Can do it on the OEBB app, the machines, or the driver. Just did this entire route yesterday again
Great video. Hopefully the train numbers are still the same. I thought there would be a direct train from Salzburg to Hallstatt, now that I know there will be train changes, I can be more prepared. Thank you! 😊
Great guide. We (on a very last minute whim) left Salzburg early in the morning on Bus 150 to Bad Ischl. Then took the train - which like you say - puts you on the wrong side of the lake. HOWEVER - seeing Hallstatt from the ferry for the first time is MAGICAL. So magical that I would recommend the ferry over taking the bus. It also drops you in the center of town and there is a discount on a round trip ferry ticket. We dined at the restaurant shown at 6:52. Magical. Words cannot describe the beauty of this town. It must be seen in person. (Did I mention it was magical?) This is a very helpful guide and would have come in handy. But I will say that the trip is relatively intuitive. Also - take the time to stop and have a walk through Bad Ischl. It's a charming little town.
@arsu yes winter in Hallstatt is wonderful. I have a 10 ten things to do in hallstatt video coming out over the next few days which has some info and clips on the winter and will have a dedicated "winter in hallstatt" video out later this year
My husband and i are planning a trip to Austria, it will be my first time in Europe, i can't tell you how i appreciate this video !!!!!! thank you for this !! will follow each step as you mentionned
Hey Lea, glad this information was helpful. I recently did a detailed video on visiting the salt mine in Hallstatt and will be posting a very cool video about the top ten things to do in town over the next few days as well.
Most helpful video ! I am staying in Hallstatt for four days in October to do some walking . I was looking at how to get from Salzburg to Hallstatt .. Now I know ! Thanks ..
Can I ask, do you ask for a ticket to Hallstatt on the 150 and you can use it on all of the buses to get there or do you get a ticket on each bus? Thanks
You buy a single ticket to hallstatt as the tickets are by zones and transfer count as one continuous journey/ride, so only one ticket needed each direction
Hey Karen, the sign as a large H which means it's a bus stop and is confusing but the fine print of the sign says Bin F still. I had checked last week while updating my online guide, and just double checked now on the Oebb.at/en website which confirms it is Bin F still
Apart from introducing us the tourist, these kind of videos are also super helpful. Commuting in a new place is always challenging, since tourist are not aware of all transport means and options available in daily passes. Thats where this video stand out 👏👏. You got a new subscriber today.
Класс! Разжёвываете всё подробно прям! Мы самостоятельно добирались в Гальштадт, но по такой же схеме. Вы большие молодцы, что даёте подобную информацию!
Hey Erin, yeah everything is still exactly the same bus wise. Always check www.obbe.at/en before and have "Hallstatt Lahn" as the destination. It is the far off season right now so some days Bus 542 from Bad Ischl to Hallstatt Gosaumühle, continues as Bus 543 to Hallstatt Lahn (Seelände) with no actual switch, but it'll be super obvious and isn't like that most of the year. Attraction wise it is worth noting that the ice cave and boat rentals won't be open for a few weeks but everything else is open as the salt mine just reopened for the season today.
We will have a new video covering the Salt Mine and Skywalk up in the next few days. Plan on having around 10 new Hallstatt videos in all the first half of this year
@@Bigboytravel that is wonderful! Thank you so much for the details! I'm not going until August, so I look forward to watching your videos leading up to my trip! 🤗
Simply Superb...just the kind of details any traveller would like to have (may be more than enough)...no need to do any further research after watching this vdo..!! Thanks a lot and keep up the good work..!!
Tjho hej, so much neurotic tensions tha just fell off my shoulders thu doin Halstatt next week from Salzburg, staying over night. I'm sooo plezed. Thank ya ---
Yea, it's so cool tha by your film how convinient it will be just to stay foot on bus 543 and do the Five Finger and Salt and then go back to Halsttat continuing having a sparkling day off and wake up next morning goin back to Salzburg ----@@Bigboytravel
Hej, Just arrived from a Mozart week in Salzburg and followed your splendid description goin to Halsttatt - deep bow to you. Price 15 Euros single way. Took the bus back "home" to Salzburg coz so convinient.
Great video! I am planning to travel to for a day trip to Hallstatt via bus from Salzburg after which hopping on the train to Vienna! Great tip on the luggage storage at the train station attnang puchheim
If you take the bus from Salzburh you won't cross by the Puchheim station to drop your stuff as the bus connects in Bad Ischl. You'd want to do the train for both parts if you want to drop bags and then use the bag lockers at the salt mine visitors center as a backup if needed
You can train though puccheim to drop your bags and then get off the train in Bad Ischl to follow the end of the bus options into town especially if you are trying to the ice cave or 5figners and then do the ferry/train with no bus on the way to Vienna. The bus in Bad ischl doesn't leave until after the train option stops
@@Bigboytravel I see, then I might stay the night in Salzburg, as for the Hallstatt day trip , will it be tight to include 5 fingers in the day trip itinerary? Targeting to travel via bus and train back to Salzburg in the evening before sunsets
You can definitely do the 5 fingers, especially if arriving by bus as you end up riding through town all the way to the Dachstein Visitors center where you take the cable car up two levels plus a 30 minute walk to the 5 fingers. Many people do this even if they aren't doing the ice cave tour and then ride the bus back down after to the hallstatt lahn bus stop on the south end of the village near the salt mine visitor center
@@Bigboytravel just curious during peak season are lockers in attnang puchheim stn usually full? How are the tickets usually purchased? Is it via the machine at the station? and if I were to take a train n then transfer to bus in bad ischl I will have to pay for the bus ticket to the driver?
@@Bigboytravel Great! Looking forward toit! I have been watching all of your videos about the area. I was hoping that you had a Salzburg video (in addition to the awesome Sound of Music meadow)......but I found your website and I think that I will just do your walking tour. Thanks for sharing your experience. We feel good about our plans to Hallstatt.....many thanks to your website and videos. Loved the salt mine video. We cannot wait to go! My co-traveler is an Austrian who has never been........and no one local will go with her! Blessings!
Thanks for all the information. It is really very clear. I visited Hallstatt last year, but I was travelling using a rented car. It was a very disappointing trip, as I cannot find any parking space, as the town was really crowded, and I just had to continue my journey to Munich. I will use public transport for my next trip. Driving was really stressful, as I am from Malaysia, and drive on the opposite side of the road.
I found your video and it was so helpful. I'm traveling from Brazil for a 15 day trip through some countries and I really want to see Hallstatt. I know you said you don't recommend it but only way i can do it is a stop between salzburg and Vienna. I'm planning on taking the first bus out and probably leave by mid afernoon to continue to Vienna, I know it will be hurried and exhausting probably, but I know it's going to be totally worth it!
very good question. The main issue on doing Hallstatt as while traveing between Salzburg and Vienna is the time wasted in transit, which will also have your luggage in tow. here is my hypothetical recomendation if you are doing say three days in Salzburg and ended in Vienna by the end of day four. Current Plan: Day 1 - Salzburg Day 2 - Salzburg Day 3 - Salzburg Day 4 - Hallstatt on the way to Vienna (huge travel time with luggage) Suggested Plan: Day 1 - Salzburg Day 2 - Salzburg Day 3 - Hallstatt as a day trip (less travel time, no luggage) Day 4 - Salzburg (stash luggage at hotel while taking in last of Salzburg for the day, leave for Vienna in even on a two hour direct high-speed train)
While the cable car does have quite a climb up, I would agree that the stroll to the Ice Cave is more of a nice 15-20 minute uphill walk than a climb, but we have seen some people that try to rush have to take breaks halfway up. Definitely the more time you spend in Austria the hike seems almost like a hill than a mountain.
Excellent, liked and subscribed your channel, very helpful information you shared. I am planning to visit first week of July, I will be in Vienna last week of June. Cheers. 👍
For thr 1st week of July it is going to be pretty tight and possibly booked up. Our number one is hotel GrunerBaum and the number two is thr Krippenstein Lodge but there are 10-12 really enjoyable places. Go to booking.com right away to check if anything is free
@@Bigboytravel what is the best way by public transport to reach from Madlhof Himmelreich to Hallstatt ? I booked in Madlhof apartments until 4th July today to cover attractions in Salzburg. Any idea how far to visit attractions in Salzburg from Himmelreich. From Vienna I will checkout on 1st July from Zoku hotel and then proceed to Madlhof , I am planning to visit on 4th July to Hallstatt from this area. Next I will book for Hallstatt on 4th July. Appreciate your answers. Cheers 👍
Is that the Madlhof by the Salzburg Airport? If so both bus 10 and bus 180 have stops close by and are 10 minutes to the heart of old town otherwise it is a 1 hour walk or 10 minute cab. Luckily Google maps in integrated well with the buses in Salzburg
Hello dude!, I follow this video step by step and it is very help full, I just went to Hallstat about two weeks ago and the way is almost the same, just at the return in the Attnangt Putchheim the line I took was the 3 platform. And the ferry to the train station depart at the back of the Town Church. Thank you very much and I recommend this place as one of the most beautiful places un Austria.
glad you found your train with no issues, i've only had the platform be different once since they redid the station which was due to line construction. Your comment is a helpful reminder that visitors should always check both their ticket but also the departure boards at each station for any changes. Yep the ferry dock behind the lower Town Church (aka the Protestant Church) to the train station via the Stephanie Ferry is Hallstatt Markt which I show and mention in this video. It can be confusing as there is Hallstatt Markt (ferry dock) and the Marktplatz which is the main square.
Thank you for subscribing, I wont have new videos covering Vienna until later this year so let me know if you have questions, there is also a large Vienna section on our website
Great guide. Very informative and just the right amount of detail! I hope to make that trip in December. Any changes in recommendation then? Are the salt mines and the ice caves open then?
thanks for watching! I assume you are planning on going this December 2024? While the Ice Cave will be closed, the Salt Mine and lift up to the Sky Walk will be open every day of December. The Salt Mine only closes for around a month from mid-Jan to mid-Feb each year but is otherwise open basically every day there is a slim chance that weather could alter the bus schedule, but heavy snow isn't common at the village level in December. We always recommend double checking the current schedule closer to your visit dates at www.oebb.at/en
Visited Hallstatt yesterday (27th July 2019) and it was pretty damn easy to get there with bus. We bought all the tickets there on OBB's app and took the second earliest 150, the weather was nice when we got there and almost no people, visited the Beinhaus and got some sweet photos of the city. Stopped at a cafe and got something to drink. About 11am it started to get really crowded especially with Asian people flooding the city from Tourist busses, we decided to head back to Salzburg, simply looked at the plan on your website and waited for the bus to arrive, it started to really get overcast and windy so it was perfect timing. We bought the tickets from Hallstatt Lahn to Bad Ischl on OBB's app and bought the last ticket from Bad Ischl to Salzburg in the bus. Thank you sir for making it easy, we even helped a man with his kids get there because he was confused about how to get there. Highly recommend taking the earliest bus from Salzburg especially in the weekend
That can be tricky as there arent many options and it fills up fast. There are 3 great hotels (Gasthofs) on our free walking tour guide near market square that are wonderful and Grüner Baum is out favorite. www.bigboytravel.com/europe/austria/hallstatt/freewalkingtour/ The Krippenstein Alpine Lodge up Dachstein Mountain near the hallstatt ice cave and 5 fingers is also amazing to stay at.
We have always bought them from thr driver but you can definitely buy either from thr www.oebb.at/en website or the ticket machines ahead of time. If you buy ahead of time make sure to put in Hallstatt Lahn as the destination to force the bus option as the preferred. Since you'll probably want the earlier bus instead of just winging it it can make sense to buy ahead (especially with a group) but isn't required nornally
Can we buy the bus ticket in salzburg for the entire trip or do we have to purchase at each transfer.
You buy all the way to Hallstatt Lahn and it covers all the transers. Can do it on the OEBB app, the machines, or the driver. Just did this entire route yesterday again
Travelers need more videos like this one, thanks!
Thanks Carlos, I'm going to try to do at least one video a month now
Yes!
I feel under rated channel. To the point
Great video. Hopefully the train numbers are still the same. I thought there would be a direct train from Salzburg to Hallstatt, now that I know there will be train changes, I can be more prepared. Thank you! 😊
@@Smucko1 yep there is one train transfer plus a switch to the ferry at the end. It is still a great journey
This is one of the most practical and useful travel videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much!
Thanks Chelsea! Glad you found it helpful, I just starting posting more Hallstatt videos today
Same here. Searched many but all r helpless
I mean this one is best one

Fantastic Video! We spent 2 nights there in June and it is absolutely breathtaking and lots to see. The ice caves were worth the climb.
Linda Woodard That’s not a climb to the ice cave. It’s a nice walk

Hello dude!, I follow this video step by step and it is very help full, I just went to Hallstat about two weeks ago and the way is almost the same, just at the return in the Attnangt Putchheim the line I took was the 3 platform. And the ferry to the train station depart at the back of the Town Church. Thank you very much and I recommend this place as one of the most beautiful places un Austria.
glad you found your train with no issues, i've only had the platform be different once since they redid the station which was due to line construction. Your comment is a helpful reminder that visitors should always check both their ticket but also the departure boards at each station for any changes. Yep the ferry dock behind the lower Town Church (aka the Protestant Church) to the train station via the Stephanie Ferry is Hallstatt Markt which I show and mention in this video. It can be confusing as there is Hallstatt Markt (ferry dock) and the Marktplatz which is the main square.
Hallstatt is my favorite place. I always go there.. even if im alone.. i go there like 5-8 times in a year. Its like my vacation home.
Vielen dank! GenauI, Hallstatt ist wunderbar!
beata te , you are lucky to be near a place so beautiful
This video is brilliant! Thanks for such an informative video! :)
Awesome video. Thanks for posting this. I will use this trip next time Im in Austria.
You switched the names of the mountains. The ice cave is on the Krippenstein not teh dachstein i know this because i live there. Bit its a great video

Very informative ❤
Thank you!
Great guide. Very informative and just the right amount of detail!
I hope to make that trip in December. Any changes in recommendation then? Are the salt mines and the ice caves open then?
thanks for watching! I assume you are planning on going this December 2024?
While the Ice Cave will be closed, the Salt Mine and lift up to the Sky Walk will be open every day of December. The Salt Mine only closes for around a month from mid-Jan to mid-Feb each year but is otherwise open basically every day
there is a slim chance that weather could alter the bus schedule, but heavy snow isn't common at the village level in December. We always recommend double checking the current schedule closer to your visit dates at www.oebb.at/en
Visited Hallstatt yesterday (27th July 2019) and it was pretty damn easy to get there with bus. We bought all the tickets there on OBB's app and took the second earliest 150, the weather was nice when we got there and almost no people, visited the Beinhaus and got some sweet photos of the city. Stopped at a cafe and got something to drink. About 11am it started to get really crowded especially with Asian people flooding the city from Tourist busses, we decided to head back to Salzburg, simply looked at the plan on your website and waited for the bus to arrive, it started to really get overcast and windy so it was perfect timing. We bought the tickets from Hallstatt Lahn to Bad Ischl on OBB's app and bought the last ticket from Bad Ischl to Salzburg in the bus. Thank you sir for making it easy, we even helped a man with his kids get there because he was confused about how to get there. Highly recommend taking the earliest bus from Salzburg especially in the weekend

Hi this video is really helpful. Is there any way to take the bus also for the entire journey back?
Yes, you can follow the same route back to return to Salzburg by bus

Any tips on places to stay in hallstatt?
That can be tricky as there arent many options and it fills up fast. There are 3 great hotels (Gasthofs) on our free walking tour guide near market square that are wonderful and Grüner Baum is out favorite. www.bigboytravel.com/europe/austria/hallstatt/freewalkingtour/
The Krippenstein Alpine Lodge up Dachstein Mountain near the hallstatt ice cave and 5 fingers is also amazing to stay at.
Thank you so much for this video! It's amazing. So I wouldn't need to buy the tickets for the bus beforehand?
We have always bought them from thr driver but you can definitely buy either from thr www.oebb.at/en website or the ticket machines ahead of time.
If you buy ahead of time make sure to put in Hallstatt Lahn as the destination to force the bus option as the preferred. Since you'll probably want the earlier bus instead of just winging it it can make sense to buy ahead (especially with a group) but isn't required nornally
