Isn’t that a small town that needs to be arranged for two nights? Before leaving, I’m complaining about myself. I found that there are still many places that have not come, seen, or played."
To visit Hallstatt, if you only stay in the town to visit the medieval buildings, the trees in front of the house, and the various art shops and cafes on Seestraße, it’s really half a day. Hey, why is the 50+ trip scheduled for two nights? In fact, it is the Salzwelten Hallstatt salt cave in the neighbouring town and the Ice cave on the Dachstein mountain range.
Located in the Salzwelten salt cave southwest of the town of Hallstatt, the town is within walking distance of the salt cave at the cable car station at the foot of the mountain.

The hiking routes in the mountains are also gentle slopes. The walking time of each person is different. The overall itinerary It is best to arrange for half a day.
On the hill between the mountains and mountains, there is a old house with a black wall and a yellow wall. This scene is not difficult to see in the European continent, but for Asians, it seems that it can only be seen in the 007 movie.

The most important thing to pay attention to when taking the cable car is the time problem. It is not known that the cable car's departure time can be all right. The cable car has a capacity limit for each shift. If you can't get on the train, you need to wait until the next shift. If you encounter a popular time, you often wait. 30 minutes, an hour is a common thing, you should pay attention to the time of going up the mountain, the time to go down the mountain is more appropriate
The cable car of the Hallstatt Salt Cave is in orbital mode. The upper and lower cable cars are slowly moving on the nearly 45-degree mountain wall. The process is not as thrilling as the sling ropeway. Taste the beauty of Lake Hallstatt
As the cable car slowly ascends and the height gradually climbs, the house next to the cable car station slowly becomes smaller, and in the end it becomes a small house like a Lego toy.
Next to the Peak Tram Station is a Bergrestaurant Rudolfsturm restaurant with an iron bridge for visitors. The famous World Heritage View cantilevered platform is located in front of it. Although the restaurant doesn't seem too far away, it still takes a little time to get up, so you need to decide immediately after you reach the Peak Tram Station. Turn right to the restaurant or go to the salt cave.
The 12-meter cantilever platform Skywalk, which protrudes from the edge of the mountain wall, allows visitors to enjoy a bird's-eye view of Lake Hallstatt. This is a free facility for the Hallstatt cable car, meaning that it is only Anyone who goes to the cable car station can enjoy the view.
Although Skywalk protrudes 12 meters from the edge of the mountain wall, it means that its platform is at least 12 meters long. However, if you want to take photos at the tip of the platform, it is necessary to wait in line, so pay attention to the number of people and the judgment center when you reach the Peak Tram Station. It takes time, and then decides the order of the two points to Skywalk or Salt Cave.
Lake Hallstatt lying in the middle of the mountains, calm and unpatterned like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, on the other side of the lakeshore, Obertraun. With an area of 88.3 square kilometers and a population of only 745 people, it is a good place for a friend who wants to enjoy a trip around Hallstatt.
After leaving the cable car station, after visiting World Heritage View and Skywalk, Mr. Rudi has been waiting on the road for a long time. The glass house on the roadside has the history of salt caves. The glass house reflects the natural scenery around, making this modern man-made Buildings do not obstruct the surrounding landscape
From time to time, there will be some indicators and explanations on the roadside. Consistently, several glass squares will be placed on the erected indicators to reflect the surrounding landscapes, so that the commentary indicators stored in nature will be as little as possible.
While enjoying the Fenduojing comfortably in the forest trail, after many directions from Rudi, I finally arrived at the reception desk of the salt cave when I was out of breath and I was going to have an iron leg.
After entering the reception desk of the salt cave, in addition to waiting in line for each entry time, after the ticket is inspected, it is still necessary to go through the clothes provided by the unit, the bag and other operations, which still takes a lot of time.
Everything is ready, everyone continues to line up and walk along the quaint corridor, heading for the entrance to the salt cave. There are two stages of slides inside the salt cave, so the height of the salt caves is bound to be high.
After arriving at the entrance to the salt cave, all the tourists who still have to wait for the ladder will arrive in the tunnel. The color of the clothing changed by each visitor is different, and the color is determined by the size of the visitor.
At present, the total length of the salt tunnel is 65 kilometers, and the length of the walk can be 22.5 kilometers. After entering the inner and various tunnels, the temperature in the tunnel can be slowly reduced. The salt mine only keeps 7 °C all the year round. Only one can walk slowly
The first stage of the slide provides visitors with an adaptation exercise, so that everyone can understand the method of sliding and pay attention to the relevant precautions. The length of the slide at this stage is not long.
During the process of tunneling, there are many explanations of salt and interpretation of salt mines. For those interested in mining or metallurgical engineering or material science, there will be a feeling of entering the field museum.
The Hallstatt Salt Cave is the most amazing and admirable for me and other ordinary tourists. It is undoubtedly the interpretation projection in the cave. The normal expression is on a non-square object, the guide After a brief explanation, the theme project began to change the image so that visitors can learn more.
As shown in the figure, when the tour guides explained the types of various ores in the salt mine, the next largest ore was the projection screen, and the relevant description of the ore was immediately revealed.
As mentioned above, "fun", how fun is the slide? The angle of the slide is extremely steep and the length is unknown. It slides to the unknown in a closed environment. Please feel free to see it yourself.
After the second stage of the slide, everyone waited by the slide. After the guides arrived at the side of the light, there was a small lake in the cave behind the railing. The scenes in front of the lights changed. Dreamlike and romantic
The most amazing thing is that during the final stage of the tour, when you enter a cinema-like venue, after you have settled down, the screen in front of you will start to broadcast the story of the oldest wooden staircase in Europe. It is not long before the screen rises. Chen’s story in the story, the ability to tell stories and performances, is really worth watching.
It’s fun, it’s not just for you to play. After the tour is over, the way to leave the pit is completely different from the way you enter. Everyone sits on the railcar, like a child riding an electric train in the park.
After the dressing was completed and the backpack was taken back, the garden also presented a small can of rock salt to each person at the exit, so that after the end of the tour, there was a feeling of reluctance in the place.
This small pot of rock salt became the seasoning for the dinner at this Prague hostel.
