Bergbaumuseum
Hall in Tirol's Bergbaumuseum presents the history of salt mining in the Inn valley through a replica mine tunnel that lets visitors experience the conditions of underground salt extraction. Hall was named for salt (Halle is an old Germanic word for salt), and the town's medieval prosperity came entirely from the salt trade that ran through this valley.
