Salzbergwerk Dürrnberg (Hallein Salt Mine) Salzbergwerk Dürrnberg (Hallein Salt Mine) No Data

Description


One of many salt mines in the region, this one closed for commercial production in 1989 but has been a tourist attraction for many years prior to that. After donning protective overalls you are taken into the mine on a rail carriage along the old mine tracks deep into the side of the mountain. From there the tour continues via a number of audio/video presentations, two wooden slides that you use to move down levels, a boat ride across a salt water lake and finally, what no good mine should be without, an escalator back up to the train.
