museum
The museum is part of the historic mining settlement in Altböckstein. The two buildings Salzstadel and Säumerstall house historical tools and machines from the former gold mining in the Gastein Valley . The salt barn was restored in 1979 and 1980. As a result, the stallion stall was also renovated and integrated into the museum.
While the miners' small tools and numerous illustrations are shown in the Salzstadel , replicas of a poacher can be seen in the Säumerstadel .
The Rathausberg am Naßfeld power plant is attached to the museum.
In 1977 the demolition of the settlement was prevented by placing it under protection. The museum was founded by Peter Sika at the suggestion of the mining historian Fritz Gruber , who lives in Böckstein .
