Salzburg Salt Mines

Fun, fascination and mystical moments await visitors to the Salzburg salt mine. In addition to intriguing information about the arduous work done by miners in the past, visitors, big and small, will explore in the footsteps of the Ancient Celts, who were already mining salt here back in 400 BC.

Salzwelten Salzburg & Celts.Experience.Mountain

Visitors of the Salt Worlds Salzburg at Dürrnberg in Hallein can experience the entire cycle of salt: from its formation through extraction to salt production on-site. The show mine, reopened in 2021 after extensive renovations, is the perfect destination for the whole family. A total of four epochs are explored with fun, adventure, and excitement – including a ride on the mine train into the heart of the mountain, thrilling miner slides, and a boat trip on the underground salt lake!

New Offer: "The White Gold Adventure" - Salt Mine' Package

A 3-hour Salt Worlds tour including shuttle from Salzburg Mirabellplatz and a time-slot ticket.

  • Transfer bus from Salzburg city center to the Salzburg salt mine and back
  • Entry to the salt mine
  • Guided tour of the salt mine with boat trip, mine train, and slide
In the Footsteps of the Celts

The Celts mined salt here as early as 400 BC. In the mountain, one might still hear their historic voices. In the Celtic Village SALINA, the history of the legendary people is also tracked on the surface. This original location with historical reconstructions of residential houses and workshops shows the daily life of miners over 2,500 years ago – and is the perfect complement to the Celtic Museum in Hallein.

  • The Salt Worlds Salzburg are suitable for children from 4 years old
  • Remember to wear sturdy footwear and warm clothing!
  • Audio guides available in 15 languages
