Overview

Discover the fascinating WWII history of Obersalzberg, Hitler’s Berghof, and the original underground bunkers, combined with a visit to the historic Salzburg Salt Mine.

Far more than Hitler’s mountain residence, the Berghof was one of Nazi Germany’s most important centers of power, second only to Berlin. Hitler spent more than a quarter of his time in office at Obersalzberg, where he received foreign leaders and made decisions that shaped the course of WWII.

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.
