Celtic.Experience.Mountain

Directly next to the Salt Worlds Salzburg at Dürrnberg near Hallein lies the Celtic.Experience.Mountain. Here, there are three special highlights: the Celtic village SALINA, the new salt manufactory, and a themed playground. Visitors learn playfully about the history of the Celts and how fine salt is produced by hand.

Salt Manufactory

In the newly built showcase saltworks, guests can see step by step how the high-quality, handcrafted BAD ISCHLER gourmet salt is produced from the Dürrnberg natural brine. The salt master explains the production process and demonstrates how he works on a daily basis.

Celtic Village Salina

People lived at Dürrnberg as early as 600 B.C. They mined salt and traded it, which brought them great wealth at the time. Archaeologists have thus far discovered around 400 graves and many remains of ancient settlements. Valuable artifacts such as the famous spouted jug, gold jewelry, weapons, and everyday objects can be seen today at the Celtic Museum Hallein.
In the reconstructed Celtic village SALINA, one can experience how the Celts lived 2600 years ago. It was designed in collaboration with the Celtic Museum Hallein based on the latest scientific findings.

Themed Playground

A true adventure for children and a welcome break for parents: The playground is located right next to the Celtic village and the salt manufactory. It is spaciously designed and fits perfectly with the Celtic theme. Here, families can spend a lovely time before or after visiting the Salt Worlds Salzburg.
