Doktor-Friedrich-Morton-Weg

Doktor-Friedrich-Morton-Weg is a narrow, hillside street that rises above the central village of Hallstatt. Originally known as the Obere Weg, or Upper Path, the street was renamed in nineteen fifty-five to honor Friedrich Morton, a researcher and writer who lived and worked in the town for decades. Morton, who first arrived in Hallstatt in nineteen fifteen, became the custodian of the local museum in nineteen twenty-five and played a significant role in documenting the area’s history, botany, and archaeology.
