on the Salzburg. Outfitted in white miners’ overalls, you will set out in search of white gold – through four entire epochs of human history: Your path begins with modern mining and salt production as it is done today. It then leads through the murky Middle Ages and ultimately ends with the Celtic miners of the Iron Age. A raft ride across a mystical salt lake enthralls you amid the iridescent world of Baroque Salzburg. At the end of your journey, you will have a true grasp of why salt is indeed regarded as the essence of life. And we shouldn’t forget to mention: During your tour, you will cross the subterranean border between Austria and Germany, ride on a mine train, and slither down two miners’ slides deeper and deeper into the mountain. A grand adventure indeed!
he Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden, Germany, is a historic site with a dark past. Here's a brief history of the Eagle's Nest:
-Construction: Built in 1939, the Eagle's Nest was a mountaintop chalet and the former southern headquarters of the Nazi party. It was a gift from Hitler's inner circle for his 50th birthday
-Design: The building was designed by Martin Bormann, and it was built with precision stonework evoking fascist obedience
Hitler's Visits: Hitler seldom visited the Eagle's Nest, as he was afraid of heights. He visited only 14 times
-Symbol of Power: The Eagle's Nest was a symbol of power for the Nazi regime, and decisions were made there
-Survival: The Eagle's Nest was one of the few undamaged monuments of the Nazi era, as Allied bombing at the end of World War II did not damage the building
