Hallstatt

La mayoría vivía vidas tranquilas en pequeñas comunidades utilizando herramientas de hierro para cultivar, construir y fabricar cosas.

La cultura de Hallstatt, en lo que actualmente es Austria, prosperó no gracias a la guerra, sino gracias a la sal.

La región de Hallstatt tenía depósitos de sal y sus habitantes la extraían y comerciaban con ella por toda Europa.

Eso generó riqueza.

La riqueza significaba enterramientos con objetos funerarios increíbles, enormes túmulos funerarios con carros, armas y joyas.

La riqueza significaba conectarse con otras culturas, intercambiar ideas y absorber influencias procedentes del Mediterráneo y del norte de Europa.

La cultura de Hallstatt se convirtió en un puente, un lugar donde las ideas chocaban y se mezclaban.

That's one thing.

The other is, I came across it, the oldest town in Austria is called Hallstatt.

It's a beautiful town.

The reason why is the Romans... during ancient Rome, found a salt

park.

Or Hallstatt in Guangdong, where they cloned a historic Austrian alpine village down to the exact measurements of the church spires.

Why would local officials spend millions on that?

Because of the bureaucratic KPIs we talked about earlier.

It is a safety feature, because if someone falls, they will only tumble half a story before the landing stops them.

The oldest surviving wooden staircase in Europe is in the salt mines of Hallstatt, Austria, dating to about 1100 BC.

The word story comes from the Latin historia, because the fronts of medieval buildings were sometimes decorated with rows of painted scenes, and each row of pictures corresponded to a floor level.

A mezzanine is a partial floor inserted between two full stories, usually with a lower ceiling, and the word comes from the Italian mezzano, meaning middle.

Add it to your list.

There's a, just outside, just outside Salzburg, there's a- another little place called Hallstatt, and it is just incredible.

It's an amazing drive to get there, and you've actually gotta go through some tunnels, really tight tunnels in your cars and everything.

But it's a small little village down alongside the, this lake, and the-

Are you still on the fence? I think now is the time we all get off it.

When we go to Austria, Hallstatt to be specific, an Austrian house of bones filled with hundreds of intricately painted skulls.

We are told that in the 1700s, the church began digging up corpses and In my opinion, this was the previous civilization from the mud.

All to make way for the newly dead.

It just got harder every year to start.

Clara was the reason I was in Hallstatt at all.

She'd said four days, and she'd said it from the couch in her blanket, with the laptop balanced on her knees and the booking page already open.

You've never asked for anything, she told me, so I'm asking for you.

So it was such a treat to hear about the second trip, which included running a half marathon, running into somebody who remembered Tabitha's grandson from their first trip, and an unplanned stop that turned out to be Tabitha's favorite of the whole trip.

In this episode, Tabitha and I talk about her favorite accommodations, what each family member loved most about their trip, her honest take about visiting Hallstatt in Austria, and what it's like to go back to Germany 37 years after living there with the military.

Funny story.

I think seven days in seven cities, I would say, probably, or something like this.

So we go like Vienna, Salzburg, Hallstatt, Geneva, Zurich, Munich.

Maybe I miss some of the cities, I don't know.

But it was with the Toyota Yaris trip from Romania to Europe.
