Salt was formerly known as "white<br />
gold". The deposits, which have<br />
evolved over millions of years in<br />
Duerrenberg near Hallein, were the<br />
treasury of the region. 2,500 years<br />
ago the Celts mined this hidden<br />
treasure. Prince Archbishop Wolf<br />
Dietrich von Raitenau transformed<br />
this treasure to its true value and let<br />
it expand <strong>Salzburg</strong> into a magnificent<br />
city. Today you can walk in the<br />
footsteps of the miners through<br />
the oldest visitor mine in the world.<br />
The long miners' slides, the mine<br />
rail cars and the raft trip across the<br />
salt lake are the highlights of a visit<br />
to the mine. The archaeological<br />
finds from the Iron Age Celts can<br />
then be admired in the museum.<br />
