When it isn’t only the salt crystals that glisten underground, the fragrance of pine needles wafts in the air and joyful music fills the mine galleries. We look forward to celebrating a festive Advent and Christmas season with you!

Saint Nicholas at the Salzwelten

December 7th & December 8th from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Children beware!
Visit Saint Nicholas deep inside the salt mine. St. Nicholas and his helper distribute small gifts to all the good children. Maybe you have prepared a little song or a poem for him?

Waiting for Christkind

December 24th from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. 
Even before you hear the bells jingling outside your own front door, on Christmas Eve Christkind will be flitting through the galleries of the salt mine, handing out small, salty gifts to the children.

Sliding into the New Year
