Will be in Salzburg in mid-May and am planning on making a day trip to Hallstatt. Planning on leaving Salzburg as early in the morning as reasonably possible, still haven’t checked bus or train schedules yet.
Question is about time. Is there time to spend part of the day in Hallstatt, go up the Dachstein cable car for hiking, and make it back to Salzburg in the evening? Won’t have the extra day to spend and would like to go up the mountain if time permits. Not really interested in the ice caves, more for the hiking around the area, limited as it might be.
