The Celtic Adventure Mountain is located right next to the Salzburg Salt Worlds on the Dürrnberg near Hallein. There are three special highlights here: the Celtic village SALINA, the new salt manufactory and, from 2025, a newly designed themed playground. Visitors can learn about the history of the Celts and how fine salt is made by hand in a fun way.

Salt manufactory

In the newly built show saltworks, visitors can see step by step how the high-quality, hand-scooped BAD ISCHLER gourmet salt is made from Dürrnberg's natural brine. The pan master explains the production process and shows how he works on a daily basis.

Celtic village of Salina

People have lived on the Dürrnberg since 600 BC. They mined salt and traded it. This brought them great wealth at the time. Archaeologists have so far found around 400 graves and many remains of ancient settlements. Precious finds such as the famous beaked flagon, gold jewelry, weapons and everyday objects can be seen today in the Hallein Celtic Museum.
In the reconstructed Celtic village SALINA you can experience how the Celts lived 2600 years ago. It was designed together with the Hallein Celtic Museum according to the latest scientific findings.

Themed playground

A real adventure for children and a welcome break for parents: the new playground is located right next to the Celtic village and the salt factory. It is spacious and fits in perfectly with the Celtic theme. Families can have a great time here before or after their visit to Salzburg Salt Mine.
