Many legends have sprung up about the mighty Dachstein. The Dachstein mountain range links three Austrian provinces, Salzburg, Upper Austria and Styria, and its magic has formed the character of the natives of the area. It is well-known that the people living here are a little rough on the outside but with a heart of gold and great hospitality. Once you have come to appreciate this mix, you will always come back. Tradition and modern life blend into a harmony seldomly experienced somewhere else. Locals in traditional costumes practicing old rites and a modern tourist industry with a great variety of activities and an excellent infrastructure await guests.
