To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After awhile we reached a salt-lake, over which we journeyed in a boat. The lake was feebly illuminated, and produced weird sensations as we thought of the tons of rock over our heads. Beyond the lake we took another slide down to the bottom of the mine, a deep hollow from which all the salt has been dissolved. The method of extraction is to sink shafts into the salt layer and run in fresh water, which is pumped out when saturated, to be later evaporated. This is rendered necessary by the impur...ity of the salt in a large portion of the deposits, which renders mining the solid material too expensive. Part of the brine is boiled down in the town> part car- ried to the other salt-works mentioned above. Some of the salt layers are pure enough to be blasted out, and there is a considerable production of rock salt from the mines. The number of beautiful and profitable excursions which can be taken from Berch- 166 Chiemsee to Konigssee tesgaden is unusually great, but we had come principally to see the Konigssee, by far the most beautiful lake of Bavaria, and equal in majesty to any of the Swiss or Italian lakes.
