Salzburg Salt Mines Tour

We'll meet at number 1 Hubert-Sattler-Gasse at the time you booked and head for the Salzburg salt mines, an underground labyrinth that hides history, mystery, and adventure.

On our way there, we'll pass by the King's Lake and the Eagle's Nest, famous for their connection to the Third Reich and World War II.

Upon arrival at the mines, you will dress in a protective miner's suit and board the miners' train to venture into the mountain's core. The Salzburg mines have been operational since 1527. An expert guide will provide insights on how the salt was mined, transported, and used, along with details on the day-to-day life of the miners. Participants will have the opportunity to slide down the miners' slide.

To conclude the tour, we will sail across the salt lake on a wooden raft. Afterward, we will return to the miners' train for the journey back. Before returning to Salzburg, a stop will be made in the scenic town of Berchtesgaden.
