Hallstatt Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Hallstatt on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Take in the Evangelische Pfarrkirche, the Marktplatz, and the Schiffstation Hallstatt-Lahn — faith, history, and lake views in one compact route

• Walk at your own pace through one of the world's most scenic villages

• Suits couples, families, and groups of any size

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

Hallstatt doesn't need filters — but the stories make it even better.
