The oldest salt mine on Earth promises lots of fun in the world of today The history of the town of Hallstatt is inextricably interwoven with the history of salt mining which, extending back some 7,000 years, is even a good bit older than the famous UNESCO World Heritage-listed town itself. Though despite all of those historic millennia - or perhaps, precisely because of them - a visit to Salzwelten Hallstatt isn’t old-fashioned in the slightest: Here, you immerse yourself in a fascinating and adventurous subterranean realm -seasoned with a healthy pinch of salt and enjoyment!
An adventure-packed history that begins 7,000 years ago
As we said: The history that salt mining in Hallstatt looks back on, is absolutely unique worldwide. During the Neolithic Age - an almost incomprehensible 7,000 years ago - people were already busy here mining for salt. That makes Hallstatt the oldest salt mine in the world! Later, people equipped with the simplest of tools were digging tunnels 200 meters deep into the mountain, even building staircases to help transport “white gold” out from deep inside the mountain. And let it be said, the comparison with gold is more than fitting, since salt used to be an extremely valuable natural resource. For with salt, it was possible to preserve foods. And ultimately, those who had enough to eat were able to survive. The finds from the world-famous burial grounds in the Hallstatt high valley attest to the “salty” prosperity of prehistoric times. It is due to those graves as well as archaeological finds preserved perfectly due to the special climate inside the mountain, that this epoch was given a name uniquely its own: the “Hallstatt Age”.
