I’ve been here, salzburg salt mine! Nears the eagles nest if i’m correct.
Me too! I loved the slides! It is near the Eagles Nest. Been there too! I went when I was 14. I would love to go back now as an adult with my wife. Germany and Austria is beautiful. In all fairness, I have one of these pictures with me in it. Mine is in color though.
Cool pic – neat that so many people recognized location & what it was! I too have been here (Salzburg) and have the same photo as a kid with my parents and grandparent. My other set of grandparents visited a year later and went – my grandpa, who’s 6′ 5″ fell off the slide they have and broke his arm! Good times!
I was just there it was so cool
I loved it!
Me too! I still have my little salt shaker of salt too
Love it!
This isn’t an awkward family photo, it’s a photo they always take of groups touring the salt mine in Salzburg. It’s an actual train that takes you into the mine.
Umm, we did this exact picture way back in 2007, LOL! The Salzburg salt mine was great!
I forgot to add that I have the distinction of being in the front spot of the train, and I got to wear one of the hats. It had a tassle
Funny thing about this is that I found a picture of my grandpa recreating this same picture, probably around the same year this one was done.
Been there- Had this same photo done in ‘74 when I visited the salt mine. Great memories.
I was there in 1962 with my family.
Still haven’t changed the hats! Do you still wear a ‘kidney belt’ or whatever the wide leather belt was?
OMG, I got a pic just like that….when I saw this one, I actually looked for my parents and myself as a teen lol….was lots of fun though!
Been there several times. In the mid-70s, when our daughters were small. Had the same group photo taken. Great fun! One daughter went back this year; said the outfits were a little different. Still wonderful.
I have this photo of our family from 1959. We lived in Turkey and went to Germany for three weeks vacation. It brings back memeories to see this salt mine train photo.
I wish my parents took me to the salt mine in Salzburg…..I spent my summer at the Pepper Mine in Hamburg !!!
I have the same picture from 1963! Love it.
