Vienna (OTS) – A vein of salt was discovered behind the Vienna City Hall. Now two questions arise: Can professional salt mining be carried out in Vienna from now on? And can the pumpkin seed oil egg dish at the Steirerball on January 12, 2024 be refined with real Viennese salt?
Professional salt mining might soon be carried out in Vienna. This was made possible by a sensational find: the discovery of a salt vein near Vienna’s Rathausplatz.
After this astonishing salt discovery in the heart of Vienna, experts from the Ausseerland-Salzkammergut were called in to examine the salt vein behind Vienna City Hall: Mag. Harald Pernkopf from Salzwelten GmbH, a subsidiary of Salinen Austria AG, and Herbert Hierzegger, chairman of the tourism association Ausseerland-Salzkammergut, have come to the federal capital to personally check whether the 7,000-year-old tradition of salt mining can now be continued in Vienna.

And Hierzegger adds: “As Ausseerland-Salzkammergut and partner of the Steirerball 2024, it is of course a particular concern and pleasure for us to promote salt mining in Vienna.”
