The Old Town of Hallein

Hallein’s quaint, partly listed old town is considered a true gem and a real insider tip on the Salzach. The multicultural charm between street cafés, restaurants, bistros, ice cream parlours and guest gardens not only inspires the culinary soul. During walks through the narrow streets, the numerous sights of Hallein can be experienced up close. Small and large castles as well as castle ruins as well as the numerous churches are on the excursion plan. A detour to the Celtic Museum with deep insights into the illustrious city annals is also not to be missed.

Salt mining and salt worlds

A holiday in Hallein is actually unthinkable without salty experiences. In fact, the history of salt mining probably dates back to the Stone Age and was finally converted into underground mining around 600 BC. Today, the salt worlds on the Dürrnberg provide deep insights into the everyday life of the miners. With the mine railway we go to the cool salt mine in search of the “white gold”. Especially families with children are encouraged to make this excursion destination.

Silent Night in Hallein

The city on the Salzach is also closely connected with “Silent Night, Holy Night”, probably the most famous Christmas song in the world. In the former residence of the composer Franz Xaver Gruber, who was buried in Hallein, there is a large silent night museum. Learn more about the life of Gruber and Joseph Mohr, their work and the global impact of the eternal song.
