Fishing on Lake Hallstatt

Fishing in the Austrian fjord

"Uniquely gorgeous" - these words immediately come to mind when rowing a boat across Lake Hallstatt. While gentle waves rock the vessel back and forth, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the 2000-metre-high Krippenstein and the surrounding landscape. No wonder that this lake in particular is a true paradise for fishing enthusiasts!

Reinanke, brown trout or char?

Whether by boat on Lake Hallstatt or on its shores - fishing or angling is always a pleasure on the fjord-like waters. Before the streams of tourists fill the lake with their stand-up paddles or e-boats, fishing in the early morning hours is a real treat for all rod-carriers. Incidentally, at one of the most beautiful lakes in the Salzkammergut, which is shared by the three communities of Hallstatt, Obertraun and Bad Goisern, the Reinanken (whitefish) have overtaken the char - today the lake is one of the best whitefish lakes in the whole of Austria, although not so long ago it was dominated by the char. Regardless of whether you are travelling with your own boat or renting a suitable vessel from the local boat hire companies - we wish you every success fishing on Lake Hallstatt.

One more thing: according to the Federal Forestry Office, magnet fishing is generally not allowed on Lake Hallstatt. Guests would have to contact the Federal Forests Real Estate Department for any permission.
