The Wolfgansee scenery is beautiful that we have to stop and catch your breath. It would have been better if we had a hot chocolate to sip while sitting there.
Beautiful decorated cakes are laid down on the shelf and as soon as we enter the shop in Bad Ichl, the waft of delicious smell greet us. Of course we couldn’t resist the temptation, so we have an early coffee break here.
The oldest brine baths in Austria were founded in 1823 in this town, Bad Ichl. The parents of Franz Joseph, later the emperor, were already coming to Ischl by 1827 to find a cure for their lack of children. The couple received four salt princes in the years following. Emperor Franz Joseph stayed in Bad Ischl for the first time in 1849, it was here that he celebrated his engagement to his wife to be, Sissi.

I finally reach the Hallstatt, a beautiful town wedges in a narrow space between the lake and the steep mountain. This town was added to one of my dream destinations list after I saw my friends’ pictures few years ago. And the dream's just come true in this year.
I also enjoy souvenir shopping here to, though it is Sunday, some shops are open. The town is quite a “hot” place for Thai tourist because many Thai tourist group are there on that day. I would have to say that if you go to Austria and do not visit this town nowadays, it would have been like you did not go there at all. 555 (like my friends say about shopping that “ถ้าไม่ซื้อ ก็เซ่อ. :-)
Since many towns lies around the lake, we stop by at Bad Aussie with no particular agenda in mind. Just to stop for a break. However it turns out to be the town that I do not like in this trip, many teenagers hang out in the street making loud noises and screeching tire all that half an hour that we are there.
Before going back to stay another night at Mondsee, we stop by at St. Wolfgang, another famous Salzkammergut resort town. Many tourists visit this town by boat.
