806 AT - Hallstatt-Dachstein / Salzkammergut Cultural Landscape (1997)

Brief Description

"Human activity in the magnificent natural landscape of the Salzkammergut began in prehistoric times, with the salt deposits being exploited as early as the 2nd millennium BC. This resource formed the basis of the area’s prosperity up to the middle of the 20th century, a prosperity that is reflected in the fine architecture of the town of Hallstatt."

哈尔施塔特-达特施泰因萨尔茨卡默古特文化景观
"在萨尔茨卡默古特 (Salzkammergut)秀美的自然景观中,从史前时代起就有了人类活动。早在公元前2000年,人类就开始在这里开采盐矿。一直到20世纪中叶, 这项资源一直是该地区繁荣昌盛的基础,这里的繁华从哈尔施塔特城(Hallstatt)的精美建筑中可见一斑。"
