August 4th & 5th

August 4th- We went to a national park/museum place and walked up to a waterfall. At the museum they had traditional masked used around Christmas time to scare the little German kids. 

Then we took a 10 minute walk up to a waterfall.

That night we took a bike ride in to town.

August 5th- Today we went to the oldest salt mine in the world, in Hallstatt. A cute little town in the middle of nowhere. To get to the salt mine you had to take a cable car up the mountain. Halstatt is on a lake, so when you reached the top of the mountain they had lookout spots and restaurants with views of the town. In the salt mine there were two slides and a train you had to take out of the mountain. There was a light show projected on the underground lake. You had to wear jumpsuits into the mine. This was the second salt mine I've been to. Actually, the school went to a salt mine today as well, except they went to a different one. 

Then we walked around the village of Hallstatt. Took some pictures, bought ice cream and searched for macaroons.
