Overview
Adnet is a small village in Salzburg state, about 15 km south of the city of Salzburg in the Tennen mountains, best known for Adneter Marmor — a deep-red Jurassic marble quarried here continuously for nearly two thousand years and used in the Vienna Hofburg, Schönbrunn and a great many European churches and cathedrals. The Marmormuseum tells the quarry's story and surrounding hiking trails lead through the working quarries.
Travel
Adnet sits on a shelf of limestone hills south of Hallein, framed by the Tennengau valley and the first foothills of the Tennen range. The village's identity is built around a single industry that outlasted everything else: Adneter Marmor, a deep-red Jurassic limestone that has been cut from the slopes above the village since Roman times. Stones from these quarries line the Vienna Hofburg, the inner courtyards of Schönbrunn, the columns of the Salzburg cathedral and the floors of dozens of European churches. The active and historic quarry workings are open to walkers via marked trails, the Marmormuseum in the centre tells the long story of the trade, and the surrounding countryside opens cleanly into the Salzkammergut lake district and into Hallein's salt-mine landscape.
The red-and-grey Jurassic marble quarried at Adnet has been worked continuously for nearly two thousand years. Several quarries are still active, several lie open as geological monuments, and a marked Marmorweg trail connects them through the woods above the village. Walking the trail makes the local economy and the village's outsized European footprint immediately visible.
