Hi!
Don\'t worry, it is quite simple, although there is no direct train from Hallstatt to Budapest.
There are two possible routes where you have to change trains two or three times:
a) Hallstatt - Attnang-Puchheim - Wien - Budapest; travel time ~7h15
b) Hallstatt - Stainach-Irdning - Leoben - Wien - Budapest; travel time ~6h45
You can buy tickets online from Austrian Railways ÖBB at [ux]http://rail.shop/oebb[/ux] - if you book a "Sparschiene" advance fare, you have to travel with the booked connection!
Personally, route b) is my favourite as you travel through a lot of interesting and beautiful landscapes. Chaning trains is no problem: although there is not much time at each connection, trains usually stop at opposite platforms so you just have to walk across the platform to get to the connecting train.
Are you planning on doing any other rail trips?
