Salt: The “White Gold” of History

Salt has shaped civilisations for millions of years. Around 250 million years ago, a massive salt lake covered what’s now Austria and Germany. As water evaporated, salt deposits formed and were pushed up into the Alps.

Humans discovered salt’s power early on, using it for preservation by 4,000 BC. By the 6th century BC, the Celts in Dürrnberg were mining salt, establishing a thriving community. In the Middle Ages, Salzburg’s Prince-Archbishops recognised salt as a major source of wealth, funding the city's grand architecture. Today, you can explore this rich history at Salzwelten Salzburg, home to the world’s oldest visitor mine.

Discover the magic of salt — the mineral that shaped the world!
