Salzburg or "Salt City"

Salzburg is named for the Salt Mines that are nearby in Berchtesgaden. Dick is going to visit the salt mines tomorrow. I was looking up information on the salt mines and learned that the visitors don traditional miner's wear and ride deep into the mountainside on a mining train. They also go down into the underground area via slides and dark passages to visit an underground salt lake and a salt grotto. He said the weather is balmy in the high 40s. Here is a picture of tourists "sliding down" into the salt mines.
