Description

Explore the underground labyrinths of Salzburg on this tour of the salt mines. You'll travel on board the miners' train and sail the salt lake on a raft!

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.

Once we reach the mines, we'll get dressed up in a protective miner's suit and hop on the miners' train that will take us into the heart of the mountain.

The Salzburg mines began operating in 1527. We'll explore them alongside our expert guide who'll tell us all about how the salt was mined, transported and used as well as the day-to-day life of the miners. During the tour, you'll even get the chance to slide down the miners' slide!

To finish off the tour, we'll board a wooden raft for a ride across the salt lake. Then we'll board the miners' train again and head back to the outside world.

Before returning to Salzburg, we will stop in the scenic town of Berchtesgaden.

La visita alle.miniere non vale il prezzo. Bello il trenino, divertenti gli scivoli, suggestiva la navigazione, ma il resto della visita è troppo esplicativo dell'attività estrattiva attuale (e i televisori con i video così piccoli non si vedono perchè i gruppi sono numerosi). Avendo fatto la visita alle miniere di Cracovia, questa è appena sufficiente.

La visita a las minas de sal es muy recomendable para disfrutar por toda la familia, con pasajes e historias interesantes. El guía también muy atento y compartió muchos datos de la historia durante los recorridos. Se termina para almorzar en un pueblo muy bonito. Translate this opinion into English.

Achei ótimo, teve o passeio de trem dentro da mina, o escorregador e o passeio de barco no lago dentro da mina. A senhora que nos levou foi também muito prestativa e comunicativa. Teve também o passeio na cidade de Berchtesgaden. Translate this opinion into English.

I thought it was great, there was the train ride inside the mine, the slide and the boat ride on the lake inside the mine. The lady who took us was also very helpful and communicative. There was also a tour of the city of Berchtesgaden. Opinion translated. Show original.
