Hallstatt, Archaeological site in Hallstatt, Austria
The archaeological complex spans across the mountainous area above Lake Hallstatt, containing prehistoric salt mines and burial grounds from different periods.
Mining operations at the site date back to 1500 BCE, when Bronze Age communities established systematic salt extraction methods in the mountain.
The archaeological findings from this location were so substantial that they defined the early Iron Age period in European prehistory.
The excavation site remains active during summer months from July to September, when visitors can observe archaeologists conducting research at the location.
The salt-rich environment preserved ancient organic materials, including a wooden staircase from the Bronze Age, which stands as the oldest in Europe.
