Itinerary
Meet your local guide at your Salzburg hotel and hop on board of your luxury minivan. Afterward, your journey starts with a scenic drive from Salzburg past the Sound of Music meadow to Obersalzberg Eagle's Nest bus terminal, from there you will access the Eagle's Nest with bus and elevator. Take a stroll to the very close summit Kehlstein to overlook the picturesque Bavarian and Austrian Alps. During the winter months, the tour might visit Rossfeld summit instead to get a view of the Eagle's Nest from there, the view from the Rossfeld is also stunning!
Returning at the Obersalzberg the tour continues to the King's Lake (photo stop) and further on to Berchtesgaden for visiting the 490 years old mines. You will enter by train, use the miners slides and finally cross a salt-lake with a ferry boat before you will be driven out with the train again.

A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourWe highy recommend Manfred if you want to see both the usual tourist sights and some out of the less touristy sights. We spent 2 full days sight seeing with him in and around Salzburg and had a wonderful time. He incorporated the Sound of Music tour with the lake region where we also took a short boat ride on a beautiful green lake. Next day went to Eagles Nest and the Bavarian Mts and Ramsau. Touring with Manfred is definitely 5 stars.
