Schifffahrt Hallstatt aktuell
Ferry traffic currently suspended
Note for all train passengers to and from Hallstatt in the Salzkammergit: Due to the rising water levels of Lake Hallstatt and due to rising winds, shipping to and from Hallstatt station is suspended until further notice, according to the market town of Hallstatt. It is not yet clear when operations can be resumed. Please do not write any e-mails, even we cannot say it at this point. This depends on the weather!
Alternatives
Train passengers should therefore get off at the stations "Gosau - Steeg" and "Obertraun Dachsteinhöhlen" and change to the bus for the onward journey to Hallstatt. The bus stops are located near the train station. Plan for waiting times.
Departure by bus
As an alternative, they can also leave by bus. There are two stops in Hallstatt. One of them is located directly at the bus terminal. This is also equipped with up-to-date digital timetable information. Our tip: If you want to travel in the direction of "Attnang Puchheim", it is best to take the bus to Bad Ischl and then change to the train there to continue your journey.
