The picturesque medieval city of Hallein has already been populated a long time before Christ.
Already 600 years anno domini the Celts were mining salt in Bad Dürrnberg and built their first settlements on the moutain and later on in the Salzach-valley - Hallein arose.

400 meters above Hallein lies the spa town Bad Dürrnberg, which attracts excursionists in summer as in winter with its gorgeous view.
