Dürrnberg “Salt Mines” Tour and “Eagles Nest”

Mysteries of a world far inside the salt mine mountain. A salt mine guide will explain the history as well as telling the tales from the folklore. A highlight will be the raft trip across the subterranean salt lake. Interesting, educational and fun, in this way you will discover the history of the “white gold” hidden for millions of years. You can also travel back in time through the ages making a short visit to a“Celtic Village” beside the salt mine.

The second part of the tour we cross over the German border on the way to the Eagles Nest sopping up the scenery of the Bavarian Alps. The Eagles Nest is situated at 1834 meters high above the Bavarian town Berchtesgaden. Commissioned by National Socialist (Nazi) party senior leader Martin Bormann, it was used by senior Nazis for relaxation and for Hitler to bring foreign dignitaries and diplomats to impress them with the spectacular views, an integral tool for the Third Reich. In good weather conditions, you will have breathtaking panoramic views from the Eagles Nest. The highlights are visiting the main presentation room, Eva Braun’s Tea room, the archive photograph gallery and maybe the short walk up the hill to the cross with its carved Edelweiss.

After the Eagles Nest we make short visit to the Bavarian traditional town “Berchtesgaden” .

Then we return to Salzburg and you will be dropped off near Mirabel Gardens.
