The Salzkammergut is a resort area in Austria known for its stunning landscapes and rich history. The region encompasses a variety of scenic locations including glacial lakes, mountains, and raised bogs. The name "Salzkammergut" translates to "salt demesne" and refers to the Habsburg monarchy's control of the region's salt mines. In 1997, parts of the Salzkammergut were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Salzkammergut is divided into ten sub-regions for tourism purposes, including the Ausseerland, Ferienregion Wolfgangsee, Urlaubsregion Fuschlsee, and Ferienregion Dachstein Salzkammergut, among others. The region has a rich history, with archaeological findings dating back to the Neolithic era and the area's salt mines in use since the Celtic Hallstatt culture. From the Middle Ages, the Salzkammergut was a center of salt trade and was eventually incorporated into the Habsburg monarchy.
