The Hallstatt Salt Mine Tour is super recommended! Originally, I was here to see the scenery, so I stopped by to visit the salt mine and didn't expect much. After driving up the mountain, the beautiful scenery is unobstructed. Climb another mountain road to reach the salt mine. The group will enter on the hour. We happened to meet the school organizing pupils to visit. All men and horses are dressed in miners' clothes, available in three colors. After entering the salt mine, a wonderful journey began, high-tech, light show, although the language is not fluent, but seeing the guide is very serious to the children. There are two exciting slides inside. Lively, interesting, and entertaining. I also gave a bottle of salt. It was an unexpected happy trip. Super recommended.

Speaking of salt mines, it is an attraction in the small town of Hallstatt. Generally, they choose to visit the salt mines first, and then go to the lake or boating. The salt mine is a very interesting attraction. The cable car and train have to climb very high mountains, rush forward, and walk for sightseeing after reaching the highest point of the salt mine. Opposite is the snow-capped Alps, with ridges, undulating heights, lawns that cannot be greener, and elevated skybridges, which look like a flying bridge from a distance, and overlook Hallstatt Lake from the vantage point. After reaching the dark salt mine, there is the longest wooden slide in Europe. Every visitor needs to slide down by himself, and those who are timid should be careful. A foreign grandfather in our group who was 70 or 80 years old gave a demonstration. I was less scared and mastered the essentials. The main thing was to use the legs to clamp the slide to control the speed, and he was lying on his back. Before entering the salt mine, you need to change into a miner's uniform, fearing that the salt mine will have a corrosive effect, and then the team leader will introduce the historical cause of the salt mine in German and English, the formation process, the size of the area, how the miners mine the salt mine, and so on. We entered the bottom of the 440-meter deep cold salt pit, and finally a small train for miners sent us out of the salt mine. A vivid lesson, I feel that every traveler can hear it. Austria has planned this place very well. I spent most of the day here, quietly enjoying the happy time, very relaxing, comfortable and comfortable. When I left the salt mine, there was a souvenir shop that bought salt stones. There were many beautiful stones and colored lights made of mineral salt. It was really beautiful. I bought two salt stones with two bases. I like them very much. 9.9 Euro
