When visiting Hallstatt, make sure you don’t miss the catholic church! Not only you can check the church inside, but you can also see a nice small cemetery and the famous Bone House in Hallstatt (Beinhaus). People have mixed opinions and feelings about this place, but I liked it quite a lot and that’s why I recommend it to you too. After all, you don’t see such a thing every day, right?

Hallstatt Salt Mine (Not available in winter)
Hallstatt Salt Mine (Not available in winter)

Salt Mining in Hallstatt has been going on for 7,000 years, so having the chance to tour the mine while in town is a real treat. Salt was so vital to life before modern refrigeration, we often take it for granted today, but it is what put Hallstatt on the map. While the tiny village may be quite sleepy today, Hallstatt’s Celtic influence on early Europe thanks to white gold (salt) led to an entire period of the Iron Age (800-400BC) being known as the Hallstatt Era.
