Hermitage in Saalfelden

25 minutes from the Arthurhaus in a westerly direction, lies the fine town of Saalfelden. If you look north from Saalfelden towards the Steinernes Meer, you can make out Lichtenberg Castle in the lower third and the hermitage a little above, at the foot of a rock face. From the parking lot, you can reach the hermitage on foot in a good 20 minutes. Two half-caves belong to the hermitage, in one of them there is the “St. George’s Chapel”. The altarpiece depicts St. George thrusting a spear through the throat of a dragon – the symbol of the victory of good over evil! The hike to the hermit is an exciting, mystical experience.

Hallein Salt Mine

Located 35 minutes from Mühlbach, above the picturesque town of Hallein on the Dürnberg, is one of the oldest show mines in the world. In the Salt Worlds you will experience the extraction of the “white gold” up close. Dressed in white, you enter the show mine on a train. Over slippery slides it goes on. At the salt lake you glide on a raft, surrounded by a mystical cloud of sound.
