Mountain of Treasures - The White Gold from Altaussee

Altaussee

Salzwelten Altaussee: Experience the largest active salt mine in Austria!

An exciting mix awaits you at the Altaussee Salt Worlds in the Styrian Salzkammergut: Here, Austria's largest still-active salt mine meets the Hollywood-ready story of stolen Nazi looted art. There, where pure rock salt shimmers orange-red in deep tunnels and in a mystical chapel - this is exactly where courageous Altaussee miners once saved Europe's works of art from destruction by the Nazi regime.
