salzbergwerk bad friedrichshall

We visited this salt mine in July 2014 with our boys aged 13 and 10 years. Both we and our kids found it a really interesting and great value for money. First you go down 200 metres in the miners' lift and emerge into a maze of tunnels and caverns carved out of the rock. You walk through a series of huge caverns, each approximately 20 metres high, 30 metres wide and 500 metres long (yes, really that big!). There are top quality displays, films and exhibitions about the geological processes that formed the salt deposits, the fossils they've found there, the mining process and what salt is used for. Everyone succumbs to the temptation to taste the walls, and they really are just salt! There is a sensitive exhibition of the use the salt mine was put to during WW2 when it became an aircraft engine factory staffed by slave labourers. There are displays of salt-mining equipment past and present and you even get to pretend to set off a blasting explosion in a sound-and-light show that our kids loved. There are also some amazing carved frescos that the miners made and even a laser show in the semi-darkness that has to be seen to be believed. We spent around 2 hours underground and we could have easily spent longer. Don't worry about the cold, unlike caves, the salt caverns are comfortably warm at around 18 degrees Centigrade. Once back on the surface we had a very pleasant currywurst in the garden cafe at the entrance to the site. Genuinely one of the highlights of our holiday.

Sehr interessant und lehrreich. Tolle Führungen und eine Rutsche für die kleinen. Leicht zu finden und gute Parkmöglichkeiten.

No caminho para Berchtesgaden uma mina de sal, SENSACIONAL !!! Na entrada todos se vestem com roupas de mineiros e dai a gente vai andando e navegando e escorregando em grandes escorregadores de madeira e andando sobre trilhos, muito legal. A mina foi recentemente iluminada com uma espécie de show de luzes, ficou muito bonito. A gente entende e testemunha que todos os Alpes já estiveram embaixo d'agua. Além de sal tem conchas , e bichos do mar nas paredes. Passeio para todas as idades inclusive avós. Toda região viveu da extração e do comercio do sal. Não é "a toa que perto fica a cidade de Salzburg !!!

Sehr interessant und lehrreich. Alles rund um das Salz, wie es entstanden ist, wie es abgebaut wurde und wird und für was Salz alles verwendet wird. Es war wirklich super und die lange Rutsche hat unseren Sohn am besten gefallen.

Imperdível passeio. Estávamos na Áustria e nos indicaram ir até esta cidade do sul da Alemanha para conhecer a mina de sal. Incrível, todos adoraram o passeio.

Das aufgelassene salzbergwerk am Bahnhof Bad Friedrichshall-Kochendorf ist neu aufgearbeitet worden, jetzt inclusive Erinnerungsstätte an die KZ-Gefangenen, die hier unten Fronarbeit leisten mußten. Aber auch die riesigen Hallen, Maschinen und "Sprengungen" sind beeindruckend! Geeignet für Kinder ab ca. 8 Jahren. Öffnungszeiten beachten - nur Sonntags!

Wer sich für Bergwerke interessiert ist hier richtig. Es gibt vieles zu sehen. Alte Maschinen und ein sehe sehr langer Bohrkern. Beeindruckend sind die grossen Hallen.
