To this day, the Bad Reichenhaller AlpenSalz is made from the brine won in this salt mine.1816 saw the beginning of tours through the salt mine for select guests only. Since 1880, tours have been open to everyone. In 2007, the visitor center was reimagined and is now one of the most innovative salt mine experiences worldwide.
