Your Experience
Getting started
Start a 4-hour journey through the historic salt mine in Berchtesgaden, which has been operational for over 500 years. Discover fascinating insights about this underground world as you travel along scenic routes such as Alpenstraße and Königsseeache to Obersalzberg.
Upon arrival at the salt mine, don protective gear before boarding a railway that takes you 650 meters into the mountain's depths.
