SALT MINE ADVENTURE

The adventure at the Dürrnberg Salt Mine in Hallein, about 19 km outside of Salzburg, begins with an exciting mine train ride deep into the mountain's interior. Fast-paced wooden slides and mysterious, centuries-old tunnels lead you down into the heart of the Dürrnberg. The journey takes you on a fascinating journey through four different eras. From modern mining and salt production of the present, through the glorious Baroque period, it continues into the dark Middle Ages and culminates with the Celtic miners. A special highlight of the trip is a raft ride across the mystical salt lake, which leads into the dazzling world of Salzburg's Baroque era. During this exploration, you'll discover why salt is considered the "essence of life," and you'll cross the only underground border between Austria and Bavaria.

For young explorers, there's the Sally children's tour, specially designed for children ages 4 to 12. With playful elements and child-friendly explanations, younger visitors can explore the mine and learn a wealth of interesting facts. Additional tours are offered during the Easter holidays, for which registration is required.

Celtic.Adventure.Mountain
Another highlight on the Dürrnberg is the Celtic.Adventure.Mountain, which offers exciting insights into the historical significance of salt and the region. Especially in spring, when the first flowers and herbs sprout, the free destination guide invites visitors to discover the Celtic village of SALINA and the new salt factory. Interactive virtual adventure games and an augmented reality (AR) feature bring the region's history to life.
The Celtic.Adventure.Mountain offers even more: After a hiatus of more than 30 years, the Dürrnberg salt factory is once again producing the finest salt. The fine gourmet salt "Salzzart," extracted from the natural brine of the Dürrnberg, is Salzburg's answer to the famous "Fleur de Sel." It is not only appreciated by Michelin-starred chefs, but is also very popular with gourmets. The on-site master pansmith provides fascinating insights into the art of salt production and is happy to answer any questions about the product.
