What Austria Tells Us About EuroperCOs Dark Future
IrCOm in Hallstatt, Austria. Heard of it? Perhaps not, though yourCOve almost certainly seen it - on a poster, as a desktop screensaver, or in
the feed of one of those social media accounts with millions of
followers, the ones that exalt the beautiful and old and mock the ugly
and new. Often justly.
These accounts like to show Hallstatt because it is accidentally yet exquisitely lovely. A Tiktok-perfect Alpine town, stretched narrowly
along the glittering shore of an iconically blue lake, complete with Hansel-and-Gretel houses and one ideal church spire, noble against the vistas of boats, mountains, and the many tourist buses. If there is a poster-child for over-tourism, it might show Hallstatt. Which would then attract more tourists.
There are, of course, lots of over-touristed towns in Europe. What makes Hallstatt special is what lies above it, the remarkable backstory that attracts historians and archaeologists, and makes a total contrast with
the selfie-sticks down below. And itrCOs this dual, competing nature of Hallstatt that, I believe, makes Hallstatt oddly emblematic, and offers
a prism through which to view EuroperCOs troubled future. Especially on a day like today, when news is filtering in of TrumprCOs latest adventures, amid PutinrCOs ongoing and ceaseless designs on Ukraine.
All along the mountain ridge, behind Hallstatt, the slopes are
honeycombed with grandiose salt mines, and have been for 7,000 years.
You can go down and see the rCLworldrCOs oldest ladder,rCY the seams of salt worked by organised, hierarchical teams of men wielding antler picks.
You can see poignant leather shoes and dainty woollen clothes - all preserved in the salt they hewed...
