Activity itinerary

Salzburg (Pass by)

Your private driver will pick you up directly at your hotel in Salzburg and begin a scenic journey towards the Bavarian Alps and the Berchtesgaden region. The drive takes approximately 45–60 minutes and passes through beautiful Alpine landscapes, traditional villages, and mountain valleys. As the scenery gradually becomes more dramatic, guests can enjoy panoramic views of forested slopes and surrounding peaks. Travelling in a private vehicle allows for a relaxed pace, comfortable travel, and optional photo stops along the way. The journey itself is an important part of the experience, offering a peaceful introduction to one of the most impressive mountain regions near Salzburg before arriving at Obersalzberg, the starting point for the Eagle’s Nest visit.

The Eagle's Nest

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
From Obersalzberg, guests continue to the Eagle’s Nest by special mountain buses, which travel along a spectacular road carved into the mountain. The bus ride takes approximately 20 minutes and offers impressive views as it climbs to an altitude of 1,834 metres. From the drop-off point, a historic brass lift built inside the mountain transports visitors directly to the Eagle’s Nest. Originally constructed in 1938 as a diplomatic and representative building during the Nazi era, the site today combines historical context with breathtaking Alpine scenery. The panoramic terrace offers unforgettable views across the Bavarian and Austrian Alps, making it one of the most remarkable viewpoints in the region and a highlight for photography and mountain landscapes.

The Alps (Pass by)

After your visit to the Eagle’s Nest, your private driver will be waiting at the agreed meeting point to continue the journey towards Hohenwerfen Castle. The drive takes approximately 45 minutes and leads through scenic Alpine valleys, passing mountain rivers, traditional villages, and dramatic limestone peaks. This stretch of the journey offers beautiful views of the Salzach Valley and surrounding mountains, providing a relaxing transition between destinations. Travelling privately allows guests to enjoy the scenery at a comfortable pace while learning about the region’s history and landscapes before arriving at the impressive fortress of Hohenwerfen, which rises high above the valley floor.

Erlebnisburg Hohenwerfen

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
Hohenwerfen Castle stands proudly on a rocky hill overlooking the Salzach Valley, surrounded by impressive Alpine scenery. Built in the 11th century, the fortress served as a strategic defensive stronghold and later as a residence for the archbishops of Salzburg. Today, visitors can explore historic courtyards, towers, and exhibitions while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The castle also gained international fame as a filming location for the classic WWII film Where Eagles Dare (1968), starring Richard Burton as Major John Smith, Clint Eastwood as Lieutenant Morris Schaffer, and Mary Ure as Mary Ellison. Several exterior scenes were filmed here, adding cinematic history to the castle’s medieval atmosphere.

Salzburg (Pass by)

Following your visit to Hohenwerfen Castle, your private driver will meet you and begin the comfortable return journey towards Salzburg. The drive takes approximately 40 minutes and follows the scenic Salzach Valley, offering views of Alpine peaks, green meadows, and traditional Austrian villages along the way. This relaxing final part of the tour allows guests to enjoy the landscape at a calm pace after a day filled with history, mountain scenery, and cultural highlights. The private transfer ensures a smooth and comfortable conclusion to the experience while continuing to showcase the natural beauty of the Salzburg region.
