Itinerary

Part 1: Salt Mines Starting in Salzburg we head south out of the city towards the Salt mines. Before entering the mine you will dress like a miner (protective clothing provided) and then travel by miner's train into the heart of the mountain. Once inside this remarkable underground world the knowledgeable local miner and guide will amaze you with tales of the history of the salt, how it was mined, transported and used. Going down further into the caverns you can use the miners' slides, great fun for all ages. Then be amazed within the mountain as you travel by raft across a Salt Lake. Finally, after touring these enchanting underground labyrinths we return to the outside world on the same train. Part 2: Sound of Music This tour, which has been Salzburg's most popular tour since 1967, is a combination of both historical Salzburg and the breathtaking Lakes and Mountains region. We will show you many of the film locations from the 'Sound of Music' and share not only background stories of the movie but also the history and culture of the region.
