Combine two of our most popular private tours, The Eagle's Nest and Hallstatt into a memorable day and get the most of your time. Start the morning with a tour through the Bavarian Alps and explore Adolf Hitler's World War II lairs, visit the Nazi leader's  mountaintop retreat the Eagle's Nest. Experience the building and its bird's-eye views before we descend to Obersalzberg from where we make our way to Hallstatt. Drive along the emerald-green Fuschlsee and stop at its castle; take a picture from a great view point above the town of St Gilgen where Mozart's mother was born. You will have 2 hours to explore Hallstatt, where you can visit all the hidden gems and of course the must-sees and enjoy 7000 years of history. On our way back to Salzburg we will make a short stop at the Gosausee with the glistening Dachstein glacier as its backdrop.
