[Austria] Hallstatt Salt Mines

The salt mine is also a lot of fun when touring Hallstatt♡ The oldest salt mine in the world, with a history of 7000 years! ! You can take a tram up to the entrance of the mine, so you can see Hallstatt from above. In the salt mine, we wore a set to protect our clothes (see the fourth photo), and the staff chose the size for us! It's all pants, so it's better not to wear a skirt ◎ We learned how the salt mine was found, how salt is mined, and how it is formed. The oldest staircase, which was recently discovered, is also on display. Also interesting is the slide and the last mine cart! The slide has no handrails! lol If you're scared, you can go down the stairs. The mine cart goes faster than you'd think, so it's safe to have a seat with a backrest or handles. I didn't have either, so I clamped the chair with my legs to secure it 😂 I highly recommend it because there are activities, you can learn history, and you can buy souvenirs ♡ They also have salt to scatter 🧂 #Travelingwithme #Austria #EuropeTrip 📍Location: Salzbergstraße 21, 4830 Hallstatt, Austria 🕰️Opening hours: 9:00-16:00 Closed on Wednesdays 💰Price per person: €40 including gondola 🚡 Duration: About 90 minutes
