Day 3 : Halstadt





I am now writing this post for the second time as the first one got deleted so this will probably be shorter as i cant really be bothered to retype the whole thing. Halstadt is a Salt mine. We went up in cable cars and we luckily had great weather that day so we got to see the view of the lake beneath us. The path leading up to the mine had a lot of information on the miner cemetery which was close by and the archeological dig taking place there. We had to put on these horrible green protective suits before going in which made it quite exciting :) the tunnels where pretty creepy as there was this voice that kept whispering something and it kind of felt like i was going to my own death.
 thinking once you go in you never go out. But they had an awesome slide which they made out to be much more dangerous than it really was. and they took a picture at the end without warning us so everyone had a really messed up face on it. A mining train took us out which was i think the highlight of the whole tour. After we went into the town were i wouldn't have minded staying a few more hours and we got to see a skull room.( the room was full of skulls and they where all painted with symbols depending what the person was like)



Note: the pictures for some reason don't look that good on the blog the colours somehow don't come threw when i put them on so you have to use your imagination a bit :)
