The name ‘Salzkammergut’ comes from the salt deposits of this special region in Austria. 76 lakes and countless peaks characterise the landscape. Your Mondseeblick is located in the middle of mountains and a lake - your starting point to the sights of the Salzkammergut.
One hour away from Mondseeblick is the impressive village of Hallstatt. This community became world-famous thanks to the finds from the Celtic period. Countless archaeological finds from this place are of great importance to science. People began to mine salt there 7,000 years ago. The salt mine is therefore the oldest in the world.
The "Man in Salt," who was discovered around 300 years ago, will tell you everything you need to know about the hard life, glorious discoveries, and special work techniques as you embark on your journey through the mine. You and your children will enjoy a relaxing ride through the mountain on the mine train, and a short break at the salt lake will take you deeper into the mystical world of caves. A highlight for both children and adults alike is the 64-meter-long mega slide in the salt mine.
Back on the surface, the next historical attraction awaits you. Stroll across the Celtic burial ground and visit the accessible show grave. The view from the high valley over the World Heritage region of Hallstatt will take your breath away.
