Special Guided Tour of the Salt Mine: The Real "Monuments Men" in the Salzwelten Altaussee
Looking for something unusual to experience during your holiday in the Salzkammergut? Want to follow in George Clooney's footsteps and learn more about a long-forgotten art heist? Then the special guided tour of the Altaussee salt mine is just right for you.
Between 1933 and 1945, the National Socialists bought and looted extraordinary art treasures across Europe. These renowned works were intended for Hitler's art museum, which was to be built in the Upper Austrian capital. But by the end of the reign of terror, the countless monuments — with an estimated value of around 3.5 billion US dollars — had mysteriously vanished.
