Altaussee

Altausseer See defines the setting of Altaussee — its wooded shores beneath the limestone walls of the Totes Gebirge shape village life around the water and surrounding mountain routes. The settlement lies on the lake’s northern side below the Loser massif, in the Styrian part of the Salzkammergut. Salt has marked the area for centuries: the Altaussee Salt Mine in nearby Sandling mountain was used during the Second World War to store art looted by the Nazis, and the threatened works were recovered in 1945.
