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!

Since it was a rainy day, we thought we should give this copper mine a try (4 adults and 6 kids) I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! It was a bit cold and slippery, so make sure to have the right clothing and footwear. The guide was very motivated and we (especially our kids) enjoyed every bit of it! I can only recommend it!
