Description
Embark on a tour deep into the heart of the salt mountain. With a mine train, slides and a raft ride, you can experience the fascinating world of salt up close at the Berchtesgaden Salt Mine.
You will take the mine train 650 meters down into the salt mountain and immerse yourself in one of the oldest salt mines in the world that is still in operation. Over a walking distance of around 900 meters, you will explore impressive tunnels and learn fascinating facts about salt mining, the history of the mine, and the traditions of the miners. Highlights of the tour include the two miners' slides, each around 40 meters long, which you can use to travel between the different levels of the mine in a spectacular way. Another unforgettable experience is the raft ride across the mystically lit underground Mirror Lake. A new underground cinema brings the origins and significance of "white gold" to life in an impressive way.
In addition, some of the tour guides are still active miners themselves and provide fascinating insights into their day-to-day work. This way, you can experience up close how salt is still extracted in Berchtesgaden today. The guided tour delights children and adults alike and, thanks to the audio guide, is also translated into 17 languages. A real adventure underground that combines history, tradition and modern worlds of experience.
