BAVARIAN MOUNTAINS, SALT MINE TOUR, BERCHTESGADEN

This afternoon we took a Salzburg Panorama Tour through the Bavarian Mountains















via the Alpenstrasse travelling parallel to the King's Lake River to the Obersalzberg where we could see Eagle's Nest, Hitler's former Conference Centre.

We then toured the over 450 year old Salt Mines wearing traditional miners' clothing and using the same slides as hundreds of miners before, we descended into the grottos.





























Afterwards there was a short visit to Berchtesgaden where we walked around the village until we got too cold, then warmed up in a cafe with hot chocolate and cake.
