Lonely Planet review for Salzbergwerk
Situated high above Hallstatt on Salzberg (Salt Mountain) is another major cultural attraction, the fascinating Salzbergwerk. In 1734 the fully preserved body of a prehistoric miner was found and today he is known as the ‘Man in Salt’. The standard tour revolves around his fate, with visitors travelling down an underground railway and miner’s slides (a photo is taken of you while sliding) to an illuminated subterranean salt lake. Closing times given are admission for the last tour.
