Salzwelten

Salzwelten presents itself as a family excursion brand built around three salt-mine destinations: Salzwelten Salzburg, Salzwelten Hallstatt and Salzwelten Altaussee. The official site describes Salzwelten Salzburg as the world's oldest show mine, where visitors ride a mine train into the Dürrnberg and encounter Celtic, medieval and Baroque history, with the Celtic Mountain above ground offering a Celtic village, a Salt Manufactory and a themed playground. Salzwelten Hallstatt is presented as the world's oldest salt mine, reached by what the site calls the world's most modern funicular, with a Skywalk, mine train, miners' slides and an underground salt lake; the site states the funicular is being rebuilt and that Salzwelten Hallstatt is expected to welcome visitors again from 29.8.2026. Salzwelten Altaussee is described as the biggest active salt mine in Austria, with orange-and-red rock salt tunnels, a medieval mine, the story of art treasures rescued from the Nazis, and a treasure-hunt experience.

The official Salzwelten site presents the brand through three salt-mine destinations. Salzwelten Salzburg is described as the world's oldest show mine, where visitors ride a mine train deep into the Dürrnberg and journey through modern salt mining, the Baroque era, the Middle Ages and the time of the Celts; above ground, the Celtic Mountain offers a Celtic village, a Salt Manufactory and a large themed playground, plus the new puzzle rally 'The missing salt amulet'. Salzwelten Hallstatt is presented as the world's oldest salt mine, reached by what the site calls the world's most modern funicular, with 7,000 years of salt-mining history, miners' slides, a mine train, an underground salt lake and Europe's oldest wooden staircase; the site states that work on a new funicular railway has begun and that Salzwelten Hallstatt is expected to welcome visitors again from 29.8.2026, with Salzwelten Salzburg or Altaussee recommended in the meantime. Salzwelten Altaussee is described as the biggest active salt mine in Austria, where visitors pass through orange-and-red rock salt tunnels and encounter the medieval mine, the rescue of valuable art treasures from destruction by the Nazis, and today's mining of 'white gold'.
