Description

Enjoy the mesmerizing scenery around Salzburg with a roundtrip bus tour from Salzburg to Obersalzberg, and a tour of the Berchtesgaden Salt Mine. Drink in the jaw-dropping mountainous countryside and learn about the region's dark hidden history. Then plumb the depths of Berchtesgaden for a subterranean tour with more than a pinch of salt.

Hop aboard a spacious coach from Salzburg and be transported into the breathtaking natural splendor of Obersalzberg's sweeping valleys and rugged mountain scenery.

You'll learn about the dark secrets that loom over the verdant countryside. Obersalzberg is where Hitler had a summer home built, which was used as a meeting place with the Nazi High Command to discuss their occupation and genocidal effort across Europe.

Once you arrive at Berchtesgaden, you'll be given some authentic miner's clothes to put on, before descending the mine slides into the depths below. You'll arrive at an enormous salt lake, before being guided around the beautifully illuminated underground world of salt mining.

After re-emerging into the blinding daylight, you'll have some time to explore the picturesque town of Berchtesgaden to savor a taste of some Bavarian specialties.

Description

The winding Alpine roads of Obersalzberg are paved with a dark history. Looking down over all the beautiful mountains, rugged valleys, and lush rolling pasture sits the Eagle's Nest - Hitler's mountain retreat where the evils of the Third's Reich were planned in secret. Take a roundtrip bus tour from Salzburg, and discover this corner of history hidden in the Bavarian wilderness.

Board a bus and see Salzburg's bold mix of Baroque, Renaissance, and Gothic architecture melt into vast open vistas of idyllic countryside and leafy woodland outside the city.

Cross the border into the Bavarian heartland of Germany, and climb higher and higher along the hillsides where history's darkest chapters were scrawled in secret.

At Obersalzberg, you'll disembark and enter a long tunnel that cuts through the mountain. Once inside, a brass elevator will lift you to the summit, to see the historic Kehlsteinhaus - The Eagle's Nest.

After touring the building and its infamous fireplace room where unfathomable evil was once plotted, clear your head with spellbinding views of Bavarian and Austrian Alps.
