6. Salzwelten Hallstatt
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,536 reviews
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!

Every aspect of this outing was exciting, the cable car ascent and descent trips, the trails at the mountain top and of course the apogee of the viewing platform itself. Choosing a day that was forecast to be sunny and clear we set out early by public bus from Salzburg. While there was initially some cloud at the top, it cleared sufficiently to give panoramic vistas of the mountains and lake. It was great arriving at the 5 Fingers, daringly perched over the valley. Great fun was had by all experiencing the thrill at each of the five segments.
9. Dachstein Giant Ice Caves
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 238 reviews
Giant Ice Cave – one of the biggest ice caves in the world - extensive Mammut Cave and Koppenbrüller Cave – still traversed by underground streams – are particularly spectacular. A state-of-the-art cable car provides access to this unique nature experience consisting of caves, informative and enjoyable hiking routes on the karst massif and adventure cave tours.

Just follow the signs/description on the street after Hallstatt. Take the cable car to the intermediate station - first stop. From there it is a steep 10 minute walk up the path to the ice cave. Tiring, but worthwhile. € 47 for the mountain railway and the ice cave are expensive, but the mountain and the cave cannot do anything about that. The card can be bought down at the valley station. Registration for the guided tour through the ice cave takes place at the intermediate station after getting off. You receive a number for the next tour and also the time until the next tour. The guide was very friendly and answered all questions, even after the guided tour through the cave he took time to answer questions. That was nice and a big compliment for the tour through the cave. Even in summer the cave does not have temperatures above 5-6 ° C, so dress warmly or take something warm with you. The ice formations in the cave - especially the size of the ice formations - is impressive. The small light shows with which the ice formations are illuminated in different colors, a nice effect. When visiting the Krippenstein with the "5-Fingers", make a stop at the intermediate station and visit the ice cave. It's worth it and is an interesting and nice change from all the mountains, valleys and viewing platforms in the area. The tour takes about 50 minutes. Especially with kids, great thing, but not just for kids.
