Just saw something about Easter markets in this area and I'm interested, after reading all about Christmas markets. Does anyone know if they are open on Easter and Monday, the next day? Also, are there other Easter events then and the week before?

We were in Prague two years ago and were delighted by the Easter markets we ran into the week before Easter. Just google this topic and you'll find current dates and times.
We were in Cesky Krumlov the Friday before Easter that year, and the plaza was full of stalls. Not sure if they were Easter markets or weekly farmers' markets.
Didn't see anything in Hallstatt.
We spent Easter Sunday and Monday in Salzburg. Even tho not religious, the two-hour service in the Cathedral was magnificent: the orchestra, choir, and church art. Arrive about 15 minutes early to get a seat- and obviously , you can exit quietly at any time. The local stores were closed Sunday and Monday, but the shops dedicated to Easter were open: thousands of hand-painted decorated eggs for sale, 5-10 Euros, and ours arrived home without a crack. And- Easter chocolate! The Fortress and beer garden were open - again , just google the site for current info, and there were concerts everywhere.
Have a great trip!
