Ep. 189 ~ Living aboard a sailboat in the Mediterranean usually means salty air, anchorages and open water—but this time, we did something different. We left our catamaran behind and traveled inland to explore Hallstatt, Austria, one of the most Instagrammed villages in the world.
In this episode, we road-trip through Austria’s Salzkammergut region, driving from Salzburg to Hallstatt in winter and later to Wolfgangsee, St. Wolfgang, and St. Gilgen. We share what Hallstatt is really like in the off-season—from overwhelming crowds to its stunning alpine setting, historic churches and the famous bone house.
This is slow travel with a twist: a sailing couple exploring landlocked Europe while living full-time aboard a sailboat. Whether you’re dreaming of retirement travel, planning a liveaboard sailing life, or simply curious if Hallstatt is worth the hype in winter, this episode gives you the honest experience—beauty, chaos, and all.
