The Celtic Village on Mount Dürrnberg offers a fascinating look at the daily life of the prehistoric miners who, more than 2500 years ago, mined in search of “white gold”. The reconstructions of the houses and workshops from a settlement during the La Tène period were undergoing a complete overhaul in collaboration with Hallein Celtic Museum in order to update them with the latest archaeological discoveries and presentation methods.
