Salt Mine & The Trip Home There
are salt mines all over this region. Back when salt was used extensively
for food preservation, I guess the term "white gold" was coined.
The salt in the Alps is sea water trapped by the movement of the Alps. The
water evaporated over time, a lot of time, and then the Alps folded over these
deposits of salt. Now they mine it out with drilling and water.
