The Admont Abbey library was our main reason for choosing Austria as a vacation destination. It did not disappoint. I feel like I had plenty of time to take all the photos I wanted here, which was much appreciated. Hallstatt was equally as amazing, but very congested with so many tours there. It's a must see! These tours we booked through this company were all very good. They make plenty of stops (albeit quick stops) during the drive.

This tour was not my list even though I knew about it. It rained so we did it. OH MY GOD, wow that was time well spent. The travel distance going into the mine was unbelieveable. Seemed it went on forever. The slide was so smooth, something you can not do in the states, we went down as a family. That was fun to be together to experience. Well worth your time. In fact we are going back to the region and I have researched other salt mines and we are going to them also.

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.
