Description:
The tour leads around the small moutain "Dietrichskogel"and takes you on a journey through the years representing the origin of the saltmine in our region. 24 stations show interesting historical facts. It is an effortless and well-marked route. After 4 kilometers and an uphill of 300 meters in altitude you reach the highest point of the tour. After a downhill, which is a bit more steep finally you will get to the saltmine, which is open for the public offering guided tours. Walking time is estimated with about three hours.

Directions:
Altaussee, town hall - park - bridge "Donisbrücke" - area "Reith" - paht number 11a - castle ruin "Burgruine Pflindsberg" - meadow "Schlosswiese" - Waldgraben - path to the "Moosberg" - "Moosberg" - gallery "Ahornberg-Stollen" - gallery "Sandlingberg-Stollen" - crossing on the saddel - gallery "Breunerberg-Stollen" - forest road in direction to the skiing resort - new path to the gallery "Kriechbaumberg-Stollen" - showmine "Salzwelten" - house "Knappenhaus" - gallery "Ferdinandberg-Stollen" - station "Sole-Messstation" - gallery "Franzberg-Stollen" - path throughout the meadows - area "Thörl" - bridge "Donisbrücke" and back to the park.

Tip:
The 3 more difficult passages can be avoided by walking the forest roads, especially between station 8 and 9. For those who don't like the uphill to station 11 (Ahornsberg), they can go from the so-called "Moosberg" on the flat road straight to the "Sandlingberg".

Safety guidelines:
Please note the exclusion of liability!

Equipment:
Firm footwear, snacks and drinks for the way and also warm clothes for a visit in the saltmine are recommended.
