The Bad Ischler Salzberg is a salt mining area in the municipality of Bad Ischl in the Upper Austrian Salzkammergut.

Note: Ischler Salzberg does not refer to a specific mountain, but — in the sense of "mountain (range)" for the parent rock in the subsoil — an occurrence or mining area.

This is located directly southeast of Bad Ischl in the western foothills of the Totes Gebirge ("Dead Mountains"). It covers the area of ​​the Sulzbach and is bounded in the east by the Hoher Rosenkogel (1,359 m above sea level), in the south by the Zwerchwand (approx. 1,320 m above sea level), in the west by the Kufberg (918 m above sea level) and framed in the north by the Mitterberg (1,062 m above sea level).

Since ancient times, the mining itself has been driven by the upper Radgrabenbach, where today's Ischl town of Salzberg is located. There is also a younger working (Erbstollen) directly in the Traun Valley south of Engleithen, at the western foot of the Kufberg. That is why the name “Ischler Salzberg” also applies to this entire area of ​​low mountains between Hoher Schrott, Sandling, and the Goiserer Basin.

The two current brine pipelines to Bad Ischl, from Hallstatt and from Altaussee (both today continuing to Ebensee), pass through this area to the west in the Trauntal and to the east in the Rettenbachtal.

The Ischler Salzberg is considered a type locality for the newly discovered minerals blödite, görgeyite, löweite, and polyhalite. In total, around 40 minerals or their varieties have been found here so far (as of 2026), including the mainly known evaporites anhydrite, gypsum, and halite, as well as celestine, epsomite and hexahydrite (Epsom salts), glauberite, kainite, and sulphur.

Scientists discovered extremophile, halophilic microorganisms in Permian rock salt samples.

The mine was a tourist mine until the end of the 1990s.
