The World of Ice Giants in Werfen is well worth a visit. However: take warm clothes as even during summer, as it is really a world of ice on the inside. Equipped with good shoes you will meet your guide to lead you into the World of Ice Giants.
Hallein Salt Mines
At the Durnberg Mountain south of the city of Salzburg one of the oldest show salt mines is located: the Hallein Salt Mines. The Celts already mined the “white gold” in these regions. Later the Salzburg prince archbishops derived great wealth with the salt from Hallein and the Salzkammergut Regions.
