I have just returned from a trip to Germany were I had a chance to vist the 'Saltwerk' at
Berchtesgarden in Bavria, Germany. The mine which produces Salt is still working with part of
the mine taken over for tourism. I was very impressed with it and its set up for tourism of
course. But what tickled me most was the use of wooden slides to get to the lower levels.
What I would like to know is this unique to the 'Saltwerks' or is it used elsewhere in Germany
or Europe. A lack of time and ability to speak decent german ment I could not enquire any
further.
