Three Austrian federal states share the Salzkammergut: The southwest, featuring the Fuschlsee and Wolfgangsee known from film and operetta, belongs to Salzburg, the southeast with the idyllic Ausseerland is part of Styria, but three-quarters of the region, including Mondsee, Attersee, Traunsee, and extending down to the Dachstein massif that rises towards the sky behind Lake Hallstatt, belongs to Upper Austria. Especially there, the Salzkammergut represents all levels of a mountainous region. Natural spectacles, recreational activities, vibrant customs, culture, history, and stories can be found in abundance.
