Salzwelten Hallein Salt Mine
Salt was already as precious as gold, and this is the reason for why it was once called the ‘white gold’. The story of Salzburg and its surroundings is all connected with the salt extraction, being the Hallein the main and the oldest mine in the world open to visitors.
During the guided tour in Salzwelten Hallein Salt Mine, you will be able to go underground to the deepest spot of the saline and to watch videos that will tell you the story about the way the salt was perceived by the authorities in old times and how it moulded people’s and society’s lifestyle.
