Explore the former Berghof site and original WWII bunkers. Although the legendary Eagle’s Nest is no longer accessible, discover its historical legacy at Obersalzberg.
At the Salzburg Salt Mine, ride a traditional miners’ train deep into the mountain, experience wooden slides, and cross an underground salt lake by boat.
Enjoy time in the charming town of Berchtesgaden, surrounded by the spectacular Bavarian Alps.
A fascinating combination of WWII history, salt mining traditions, and breathtaking Alpine scenery.
