Take the panorama funicular railway up the mountain at Hallstatt to discover the mysterious attraction of this mystical area. The path leads to the tunnel mouth and into a unique underground world first dug by hand more than 3000 years ago: many kilometres of tunnels lead deep into the rock interior. Enjoy a day full of fun and information at the Salt Mine Hallstatt for the hole family.

If you have a few hours to spare in Hallstatt, taking a tour of the salt mine is a must! A steep funicular takes you up to the prep building where you will don special coveralls and meet your guide. Tour groups are a max of 65 people, but even with that number, you never feel crowded or have trouble hearing/understanding the guide and virtual displays within the mine. Touring the mine is safe, interesting, and full of little surprises, like measuring your speed on one of the wooden slides that would carry miners between different levels within the mountain!

When in Hallstatt it is worth visiting this small museum right in the centre, you can’t really miss its doorway, and see exhibits and facts about Hallstatt and its salt mining etc.

Modest interior and monumental facade with high bell tower. Interesting place to visit, especially early in the morning when you can see sunlight coming through the high windows. View of the lake is amazing in the morning from the church yard, water has deep blue color and surrounding mountains are casting shadows, which makes the scenery absolutely fantastic

If you like bone churches, this one is nice because it is small so you are really close to the skulls and can read the writing. We liked that there was only one other couple visiting at the same time so we were able to take turns getting all of the pictures we wanted without feeling claustrophobic.

We arrived by train taking the ferry boat across the lake to the village. Having previously seen photographs of Hallstatt the church and stepple attrach your immediate attention as you approach. The church is old and well preserved and the inside gives you a feeling of solitude and reflection. Take the time to sit inside and remember your lost loved ones.
