Hallein Salt Mine

Salt mine Hallein

Experience 2,600 years of salt history with all your senses

Earth and stones crunch under the soles of your feet with every step you take. In the light of the lamps, you can see the breath of your breath. Above you, beside you: stone and rock. How must the Celtic miners have felt so deep in the mountain 2,600 years ago? Suddenly the passage widens. At your feet, an underground lake shimmers in the red glow of countless salt lanterns. It's hard to imagine that there was once only water here. A primeval sea to which we owe the salt, the essence of life.
