Come to Harstadt, I highly recommend everyone to take the cable car up the mountain. In addition to overlooking the entire Harstadt town and the beautiful scenery of Harstadt Lake, it is also recommended that you visit the world's oldest salt mine. The salt mine in Harstadt has a history of more than 7,000 years. I have also browsed other salt mines in Europe. But the experience is the best here! The time is not too long, about an hour and a half, the whole process is very fun! At the beginning, it was very funny, everyone had to get a set of miner clothes, and it was very substituting. Every time I go there is autumn, there is only 5-7 degrees in the mine. The cold travel companions dare not take off their coats and wear the miner's clothes directly. A big bulge will be very similar to the bell tower camel man (Casimodo) rushing to follow the ornate uniformed mine manager explainer through the dim tunnel. The walls were covered with glittering salt crystals. There will be an explanation of the image of 3D, and I will go to the salt lake in the ground, watch the light and shadow performance, laser show, and show the formation of salt mines in various forms. How people explored and developed hard before, and you can see the real well-drawn tools still in use. When I went in the first year, because standing in the European pile was very short, the mine manager when I was a child, gave me a small salt mine on the spot, super open ¡ L'! The most fun thing is that there are two slides, one person can also two people slide together, it is the former miners for faster The wooden slide built between the pits. The first paragraph is relatively short, so let everyone experience it. The mine manager will teach you how to slide.

Very fun, especially fun experience, suitable for all ages. Entering the mine to wear designated mining clothes, the whole journey is more than an hour, to play 2 slides, you can take a small train, and the mine formation of the introduction film to watch, there are two explanations in English and German, for urban people is very novel, very interesting, definitely worth a visit.

Halstadt has the world's oldest salt mines, which have been mined for at least 2,800 years. This is the excavation of the salt mine that made Hallstatt inhabited, and there are road signs at the roadside ladder. From here, you can go up the mountain to the salt mine intersection, and you can walk up the mountain or take the cable car to the salt mine.
