Monday: Arrival and check in. After lunch you go to the mountain of Zwölferhorn by  cablecar. On an easy hiking tour you will find out  many interesting things about wind, weather, sund and time and hear the tales of the region.

Tuesday: In the salt mine of Hallstatt you descend into the world of the salt miners where you will learn about their way of life and working methods. Lateron you can walk through the picturesque town of Hallstatt.
Being together and having fun: that´s what the afternoon is about. Just borrow a collection of creative games at the reception.
