A visit to the Hallein Salt Mine is a journey into a thousands year old history of geology, mining, and culture. The natural resource of salt altered the history of Austria significantly, as it was mined and traded like gold, particularly in the Salzburg region, which is named in honor of this “white gold.” Travel underground aboard a mining train, explore miles of subterranean tunnels, and learn of the history of salt and the miners from your professional guide. The Hallein Salt Mine was the first in Salzburg to open to the public and offers an unparalleled underground adventure.
