Bad Ischl was the summer residence of the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth (Sisi). In Kaiservilla the declaration of the war against the Kingdom of Serbia was signed. It was the beginning of WW I. You will get explained about the history while passing the town.
Hallstatt salt mine is something so unique in the world that you should not miss it. 7,000 years of salt mining, is the "Oldest Salt mine in the World". In the Salzberg funicular you are comfortably taken up the mountain to the Upper Hallstatt Valley and to the Skywalk. After a 10 mins walk from the "Top of Hallstatt" a mine train takes you along glistening rock faces into the mountain. By slides (64 m!) you change the levels. Of course, you also can use the stairs, but you should not miss this chance of big fun. Please note that the temperature in the salt mine will be app. 8 to 10° C.
