is an Austrian region of lakes and Alpine ranges near Salzburg. In the south, the pastel houses of Hallstatt crowd the shore of Lake Hallstatt,
which is ringed by mountains of the Northern Limestone Alps to the peaks of the Dachstein Mountains.
The main river of the region is the Traun, a right tributary of the Danube.

Salzkammergut is not an official administrative division of Austria and as such has no clear borders.
The historical term referred not to a region but to specific possessions (salt mines) of the Habsburg Monarchy within the region. (Wikipedia)
