From white gold to cultural city
Salt was mined in Hallein as far back as 2,500 years ago – a treasure that shaped the town, brought prosperity and made it an important place in the Salzburg region. Traces of this eventful past can still be seen today – on a visit to the Celtic Museum or the salt mine on the Dürrnberg, for instance.
But Hallein is more than just its past: with events such as the Hallein Town Festival Week, Moonlight Shopping and concerts in the Ziegelstadl, culture thrives here in all its facets. Art, music and history help create a place that inspires and brings people together.
