Day Trips from Zell am See

Full Day UNESCO Hallstatt, Austrian Lakes and Mountains Tour

Highlight of our trip!

Thank you so much to Shiva (Sivakumar). He had a wealth of knowledge and was kind enough to share throughout at all the relevant points. Went into the trip knowing very little about local history, and could easily go home and regale my kids with tales of Salzburg, Halstatt and Austria as a whole. The tour was informative, quite comprehensive, and the tour guide was both polite and punctual. Would absolutely recommend this tour company, and this particular tour guide. Thanks again! Natasha

Berchtesgaden-Obersalzberg Private Half Day WWII Historical Tour

Discover Eagles Nest, the tour is a must!

If you want a more in depth and personal tour of The Eagles Nest, we highly recommend 'Discover Eagles Nest'. We were met by Amy who, along with her husband Tom, own and run this tour company. As Amy has lived in the area for twelve years, she has a wealth of knowledge and this gave us a greater understanding of both the Eagles Nest and surrounding areas. We were met at the top of the steps to the bus depot, given a talk about the area and then we took a bus to just below the Eagles Nest, where again Amy gave a brief introduction to the building etc. We were very fortunate with the weather and the views are outstanding, looking across to Austria and the Bavarian Alps (still with snow), and a view right down to Berchestgaden and to where our hotel was at Buchenhohe. We took the brass lift twice (our choice as you can ride it as many times as you wish) and walked the path, up and down, that Easy Company took when they ensured it was safe to enter back at the end of the war. At the end of the tour, Amy gave us our return tickets for the bus. You are given an alloted return time, but you can scan your tickets to reset a return time of your choice (this system also allows you to change the return time as often as you like, if you still require more time to look around). You really have to come and experience this lovely tour for yourself. Amy was more than happy to answer any questions and has a real passion for the history of the area. Parking is €5 up until 10pm. You can use the English translation button on the pay and display machine to assist you and it takes card, or coins (you can also use the app Parkster). Once you have finished and you return to the car park, the Documentation Centre is two minutes walk from the away, and is also recommended. After we had finished in this area, we drove a 4 minute drive to the area of the Berghoff (Hitlers home - destroyed in 1952). Also Tom, Amy's husband, has information on YouTube regarding the information about the Berghoff for further interest. Thank you Amy, we really enjoyed our tour. Just book 'Discover Eagles Nest' you won't be disappointed!
