Dürrnberg, also named Bad Dürrnberg, is an Austrian village that is part of the municipality of Hallein, in Hallein District (Tennengau), Salzburg State. It is the location of the Hallein Salt Mine (Salzbergwerk Dürrnberg).
==History== The history of Dürrnberg and its territory is closely related to the presence of salt in its mountains. Previously used as a hunting ground for nomadic groups about 2000–2500 years BC, it was settled by Celtic tribes around 600 BC. For the important Celtic bronze flagon found there, now in the Keltenmuseum in Hallein, see Basse Yutz Flagons.
