Special Tours Hallstatt

For adventurers: prehistoric expedition into the heart of the mountain

If you are really interested in the history of salt as well as of Hallstatt, Hallstatt Salt Mine has a quite extraordinary highlight to offer. By advance registration, you can book a prehistoric expedition that takes you together with archaeologists to places most visitors don’t normally get to see. The oldest wooden staircase in Europe, an original rope from the Bronze Age, thousands of burnt-out kindling torches and the story of the "Man in Salt" bring history to live. A new exhibition space even invites you to feel what it’s like to swing a Bronze Age ax. All visitors are certain to be left with lasting impressions! A yearning for adventure, good physical condition and no fear of dark tunnels are essential for what is sure to be a fantastic experience. We look forward to seeing you here!

July & August - every Tuesday and Thursday at 11:00 a.m.
