Hallein sits on the Salzach River just south of Salzburg city, in a valley enclosed by the Alps that gives the region some of the highest rainfall totals in Austria, particularly during summer when moist air is forced upward against the surrounding peaks. GeoSphere Austria’s national radar network covers this Salzach valley district.
