Take the panorama funicular railway up the mountain at Hallstatt to discover the mysterious attraction of this mystical area. The path leads to the tunnel mouth and into a unique underground world first dug by hand more than 3000 years ago: many kilometres of tunnels lead deep into the rock interior. Enjoy a day full of fun and information at the Salt Mine Hallstatt for the hole family.

If you have a few hours to spare in Hallstatt, taking a tour of the salt mine is a must! A steep funicular takes you up to the prep building where you will don special coveralls and meet your guide. Tour groups are a max of 65 people, but even with that number, you never feel crowded or have trouble hearing/understanding the guide and virtual displays within the mine. Touring the mine is safe, interesting, and full of little surprises, like measuring your speed on one of the wooden slides that would carry miners between different levels within the mountain!

Through the times and centuries, St. Florian is a place with a perfect harmony between faith, art and music. Just a few minutes from the city of Linz, you are here in between the nature. Be our guest, enjoy the lovely and peaceful guest-rooms. Use the time for a conversation with canons, go on a hike, or simply relax and let the daily routine behind you. The Canons Regular of St. Augustine's are looking forward to seeing you and wish you a pleasant and blessed stay in St. Florian!

Architecture and its furnishings - two organs, magnificent altar, magnificent pulpit, remarkable glass windows, etc. - it is rightly a wonderful landmark of the city of Linz. As it is sizewise the largest Gothic church in Austria, even bigger than the Stephansdom in Vienna, a definite must see. And take a while to enjoy the magnitude.

This is an amazing basilica! No need for any of publicity from the Sound of Music. However I believe this was featured in the movie! A great place to light a candle and say some prayers! Will definitely return here the next time we visit the area. Loved the religious piety shop! We acquired some Holy Water!

When in Hallstatt it is worth visiting this small museum right in the centre, you can’t really miss its doorway, and see exhibits and facts about Hallstatt and its salt mining etc.
