What the day includes

About this tour

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.
