Historical Salt Road - an important connecting route across the Ore Mountains to Bohemia.

The small snow-white crystals of table salt are almost inconspicuous to us today, but they are indispensable as a seasoning and preservative mineral. It seems hard to imagine that salt was once worth its weight in gold.

The extensive salt trade led to the early development of a so-called system of paths. Paths on which this important exchange product was mainly transported - the salt roads were created. Due to its abundant salt springs, Halle in particular was the starting point for several trade routes that ran in various directions.

Today, the section within the Lößnitz district serves as a "hiking and educational trail" for young and old. The "Historical Salt Road" theme trail was revised in 2011 and provided with new signage and new markings.
