This mining museum is found in the historic city of Hall, approximately ten kilometers (six miles) outside of Innsbruck. It is a reproduction of the former salt mine in nearby Halltal, which was closed down in 1967. Through the authentic representation of the mines, with tunnels, pits, pushcarts and a drilling-machine (all in use), visitors get a real feel of how it would be to be working underground. Cars can park in the multi-storey carpark at Oberer Stadtplatz.
