Hallstatt Museum and Church Bone Chapel

Hallstatt is home to the world's oldest salt mine (it's still in operation!) and one of the best stone-age settlement finds in Europe (to the extent that era in central European history is actually called the Hallstatt Culture Era), including a sizeable necropolis. The museum is actually quite good for such a small town, and includes a replica of the oldest wooden stairs/ladder in the world, dated to almost 1100 BC (the original is in situ in the mine). Also visited the famous bone chapel, with its painted skulls, situated in a 12th century chapel. Bonus pic: leaving Hallstatt by boat.Læs mere
