[ What do the mascots represent and how were they created? ](#ttgNCECollapse351767) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Dachstein** and **Salzstein** are the mascots of the Dachstein Salzkammergut and represent the region. They not only embody the name of the region, but also its landmarks. With the Dachstein on skis and the Salzstein with a hiking rucksack, they also want to draw attention to the wide range of sporting opportunities that the region offers all year round. They were created thanks to the **JOLLY painting competition 2023**, which the tourism association organised with the [**JOLLY brand**](https://jolly.at/en/ "Link öffnet sich in neuem Fenster"). The mascots were selected from almost **400 ideas** and brought to life from the drawings of Sophie (12 years), Laura Loreen (13 years) and Vivien (10 years).
