"Hallstatt" means someting in German...I've forgotten what, 'zackly. Do you know?

I thought "Hall" was a word for "salt", but in these latter days Germans call salt "Salz", so either it's an old word or I'm just Wrong, and Should Just Deal With It (an e-gf so notified me once...and that's not why she's ex, but that's getting waaay off-topic).

I think 'Hal' is the Celtic word for salt.
