Hallein is a historic town located in the Austrian state of Salzburg, situated along the Salzach River approximately 15 kilometers south of Salzburg city. The town is particularly known for its rich salt mining heritage, which played a crucial role in the region's economic development for over 2,500 years.
The Dürrnberg salt mines, located above the town, were one of the most important salt production sites in Central Europe from Celtic times through the medieval period until the 20th century. Today, Hallein preserves its cultural heritage through various historical buildings in its well-preserved old town, including the Celtic Museum and the Silent Night Museum, the latter commemorating Franz Xaver Gruber, who composed the famous Christmas carol "Silent Night" while serving as a church organist in Hallein. The town's architecture reflects its prosperous past, with notable baroque buildings and traditional Austrian townhouses lining its streets.
