5 Stunning Lakefront Towns You Need to Visit

The stuff of storybooks and screensavers, Hallstatt doesn't seem a particularly plausible outpost of the modern world.

There is, for starters, the fairytale waterfront — all gables and spires — backed by Alpine peaks and that gorgeously reflect in the lake's glassy surface. And then there's the gothic cliff-side chapel topped with the 12th-century tower — not to mention a swan-to-human ratio that tends to stand out in a village of several hundred people. Nonetheless, this place is very much a living reality, every bit as beautiful as billed. But yet, there's more than meets the eye: Set at the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Landscape, the village is one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in Europe. Indeed, an entire Bronze Age culture came to be known as "Hallstatt" thanks to its rich archeological legacy here, best represented in the town's ancient local salt mine — reported to be the planet's oldest at 7,000 or so years in operation. The requisite mine tour adds just one more fascinating layer to this mountainside town that feels lost in time.
