Only a century or so ago there was not even a road leading to a house cat in the south has come a good region of austria the climate here is rough and inhospitable the winter is long nevertheless this region has been inhabited for thousands of years so what is it that keeps people here the answer is to be found deep inside the mountain so the center is a precious commodity so it was first mine here over three thousand years ago and it is still mine today that in fact is the oldest salt mine in the world the salt mine is a prehistory left behind this rope made of linden bast splinters of pine wood and torches have also been found in many places inside the mine. All traces of early mining activity are astonishingly well preserved. Would it not for the fact that salt has preservatives property has fines like this sac for carrying rock salt would have disintegrated long ago even this finely stitched fur cap survived down the ages. The ancient miners used pickaxes to hack out the sound but no one knows just why the excavated areas aha changed. So who were these mysterious minus who lived in prehistoric times the high valley in front of the mine also contains many traces of their existence the more than four hundred years the valley was a burial place. What archaeologists found here gave its name to an entire epoch of prehistory the house. At the start of the. Some two thousand graves have been excavated here already and there could be many more. All the graves and how this is a rich grave probably that. The first graves were discovered around the middle of the eighteenth century by how mine foreman he was not an archaeologist yet he documented his findings with great accuracy. Consequently even though some finds of since disappeared our knowledge of the excavations is complete. The contents of the graves testify to a highly civilized people and beautiful vessels fine jewelry and good weapons. The early inhabitants of the region with the full fathers of the celts but why did they come from and why did they disappear some five hundred years before the birth of christ. So much still remains unknown a settlement has never been found. And they certainly did not live at the foot of the Salt Mountain on the site of present day how. This village which has a population of around a thousand wasnt as stablished until the middle ages when the soul train began to fire again. In mining is still a respected profession how even today for five hundred yes every family lived somewhere on the from salt. Became very prosperous but it was able to grow in signs that was simply no more room which when the lake from the Salt Mountains that is one of the buildings in hushed up somehow locals if they had been stocked up on top of one another. The cemetery too long since became far too small. For centuries now the dead have rested here for a mere ten years or so. Down their mortal remains on a gaap the bones bleached and the skulls painted generations of how families lie in the channel. And. Traditions count for a great deal in how. Even today the whole village that spot on the Corpus Christi procession winds its way through the narrow alleyways and sold even plays a role in the religious customs along the way the priest blesses the Salt Mountain and Saint Barbara the patron saint of minors. The entire landscape reveals traces of mining activity the Mountain Stream in the narrow ravine was used to transport temblor from the mountains down into the valley in line with an ancient principle the stream is down and up for a few hours behind the ravine. Then the dam is reached releasing a mighty torrent which plunges down into the valley sweeping the logs lying in the river bed along with. Mining sold cold for huge quantities of temples and for centuries transporting timber in the mountains was a dangerous enterprise. The people in the valleys around also live from salt mining the goes over his home to the wood cutters many of the houses are more than three hundred years old and the wood cutters also run a small farm what they produced was never sufficient to feed all the miners so food always had to be brought in from outside only the precious song was always available in sufficient quantity. But how did the salt deposits inside the mountain originate europe was once covered by an ocean and the outs began to form in line seas were created. Gradually the water in them evaporated leaving behind salt deposits the alps continue to rise and fold compressing the sun in the mountains. The caves in the dark sky and range of mountains of fishes and faults in the rock which had been deep by water. The ducks dine ice cave high above house got presents a never ending spectacle water from a glacier drips through the rock and into the cold cave where it freezes and thaws to form ever new structures some of them up to twenty metres higher.

Soaring up more than a thousand meters above the caves is the peak that towers over host the duck the highest and the most Beautiful Mountain in this part of the cops the king of the region. Five hundred meters lower down the goals are ridge drop steeply into the goes our valley the beauty of this landscape was not discovered until relatively late. In the Nineteenth Century topographies began to survey and pluck the alps. They were followed by landscape artists. A new art joiner and much alpine painting as a result the region became famous and began to attract the First Mountain ias and summer holidaymakers tourism became established and today alongside salt provides the local inhabitants with a living. Up until a century ago the microcosm that is how she was almost entirely cut off from the rest of the while.
