Saltwelten

As I mentioned before the Saltwelten are salt mines that were first to discovered by a Celtic settlement and then rediscovered in the 1600’s and mined by the bishop, making him and Salzburg rich. It sounds kind of boring but it was actually pretty interesting. We actually went inside the mines. We took like a little train up inside the mountain and got to look around, then we went down a long wooden slides to get back out of the mountain! There was also a replica of a Celtic settlement that we toured through. They were pretty advanced for their time—although hygienic problems killed them a lot.

 Us in our jumpsuits were required to wear in the mine ha.

We technically crossed into Germany when we were in the mine. Here's the border ha.
