Half-day coach trip from Salzburg to Hallstatt with 2.5 hours in town, optional Skywalk, lake time, and the Bone House.
“We thought Halstatt would be a fun trip. All the descriptions included three things to do once we got there: a funicular up to the Sky Walk, a ferry boat ride on the lake, and the Bone House. We didn't find out until we arrived at Halstatt that we couldn't do any of the three. The funicular was closed for repairs.
