Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Travelers visit the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), a historic mountain retreat on Mount Kehlstein at an elevation of 1,834 meters (6,017 feet) above sea level. Built during World War II and associated with Adolf Hitler, the site is today a famous viewpoint and visitor attraction. All visitors gather at a designated meeting area in Obersalzberg, as private vehicles are not allowed beyond this point. From there, special mountain buses carrying around 40 passengers travel along a steep alpine road to the summit. The visit is self guided, with audio guides available in multiple languages providing historical information. The Eagle’s Nest is renowned for its dramatic panoramic views across the Bavarian and Austrian Alps. At the top, visitors can enjoy the mountain restaurant and café located beside the historic building, offering food, drinks, and unforgettable scenery.

   2 hAdmission included

2. Travelers visit the Documentation Center Obersalzberg, a historical site that explains the history of the Obersalzberg area during World War II. The exhibition presents photographs, documents, and multimedia displays that provide context about Adolf Hitler’s presence in the region and the political significance of the site. Visitors can also explore underground bunker tunnels built during the war, offering insight into how the area was used and protected at that time. The visit is self-guided and helps travelers better understand the historical background of nearby landmarks such as the Eagle’s Nest.

   45 minAdmission included

3. Travelers enjoy free time in Hallstatt, a world-famous alpine village set between the lake and the mountains. Guests can explore the historic old town, walk along the lakeside, enjoy scenic views, and take photos from popular viewpoints. There is also time to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant or café overlooking the lake (meal not included), allowing travelers to relax and experience the village atmosphere at their own pace. Please note that the Hallstatt Salt Mine is not included, as visiting the mine requires a long amount of time and physical effort, which could limit relaxed exploration and cause unnecessary fatigue. This approach ensures a comfortable and enjoyable visit without rushing.

About Salzburg

Salzburg, birthplace of Mozart, is a baroque city on the Salzach River beneath a hilltop fortress, with the Alps at its edge.

The old town, on the left bank of the Salzach, is a UNESCO World Heritage site of baroque church domes, narrow lanes and arcaded courtyards, built on the salt trade and presided over by the Hohensalzburg Fortress. Mozart was born in 1756 in a yellow house on Getreidegasse, now a museum, while Residenzplatz and Domplatz hold the cathedral and the palaces of the prince-archbishops.
