The inside story
Immerse yourself in an underground world where ‘white gold’ is found. The Salt Mine (Salzbergwerk) Berchtesgaden is the oldest active salt mine in Germany and has been active for over 500 years. Located in Berchtesgaden, a small town in the Bavarian Alps just 15 miles outside of Salzburg, the salt mine is a popular attraction amongst tourists of all ages and attracts around 330,000 annual visitors.
The Salt Mine Berchtesgaden was officially founded in 1517 by Prince-Provost Gregor Rainer, although the salt mining industry in the region goes back to the late 12th century. Not only was the salt used as a resource, it was traded and became a huge source of income for the Prince-Provostry of Berchtesgaden. The mine remained independent to the estate of the Holy Roman Empire up until 1803 when it then became part of Bavaria, after two laws were passed.
