Hallstatt

Hallstatt is an absolutely amazing town in Austria, tucked between the mountains and Lake Hallstatter. The entire region is a unique cultural heritage protected by UNESCO. Even 5 thousand years BC. e., for the first time in the history of mankind, salt was mined here on an industrial scale. The wealth and prosperity of the local population, who traded with the Mediterranean and Baltic countries, were based on the extraction of salt. From that time, the ancient salt mines have survived, which today are the main attraction for tourists visiting Hallstatt.
