Pure Adventure in the Hallein Salt Mines
Fun, adventure and mystical moments await you in this ancient realm of "White Gold". The galleries of the salt mine in the Dürrnberg near Hallein were the source of Salzburg's wealth. Visitors hop aboard the mine train for a comfortable, fun-filled ride into the center of the mountain, where two long miners' slides take them down to a subterranean salt lake, site of a new multi-media show that transports them into a magical world of light and sound. They follow in the footsteps of the Ancient Celts, who had been mining salt here since 400 B.C., and discover the mysterious world of the miners themselves who, with their bare hands, dug kilometers-long labyrinths deep into the mountain. Today's visitors, big and small, can look forward to adventure, fascinating insights and all kinds of fun during the tour. And it doesn't matter at all whether it is hot or rainy outside.
