OVERVIEW
From an ancient sea to a heritage of towns
The salt deposits of Hallstatt formed through evaporation some 250 million years ago.
We follow the story from the geology underground to the cities, art and traditions that salt made possible.
Wieliczka & Bochnia
Two UNESCO salt mines near Kraków, worked for centuries.
Hallstatt
Some 7,000 years of mining history above a UNESCO lake village.
Altaussee
Austria’s largest active salt mine and the story of rescued art.
Hallein & Salzburg
A Celtic village and the city whose name comes from salt.
Meet in Kraków, then descend 135 metres into the Wieliczka Salt Mine to see chambers and chapels carved in salt. Overnight in Kraków.
Poland’s oldest salt mine, with a multimedia route and an underground boat crossing. In the afternoon we drive south to Austria.
By funicular to the world’s oldest salt mine, a ride down the miners’ slide, the Skywalk, and prehistoric finds in the village museum.
Tunnels of orange and red rock salt, an underground lake, and the wartime story of rescued art. Evening in Salzburg.
Mine train and salt lake at Dürrnberg, the Celtic village SALINA, then Salzburg’s old town, shaped by salt wealth. Next day – a relaxed drive home with rest stops along the way.
