Prepare for the most comprehensive WWII history tour available from Vienna. In one monumental day, we connect the two extremes of the Third Reich: the brutal reality of the Mauthausen Concentration Camp and the towering symbol of power, The Eagle's Nest (Kehlsteinhaus).
This is a long day (approx. 12-13 hours), but we have designed it for your comfort. You travel with a personal team: a professional driver ensures a safe and smooth journey, while your historian guide dedicates the time to explaining the complex history of the era. From the depths of the quarry to the peaks of the Alps, you will see it all.
Experience the surreal ascent through the marble tunnel and the famous brass elevato...

Itinerary
1
Vienna
As we drive west, your guide introduces the historical context of the Nazi annexation of Austria.
2 hours
2
KZ-Gedenkstatte Mauthausen
We face the dark side of history first. Walking through the memorial, the barracks, and the quarry, you witness the machinery of the regime. It is a sobering start that grounds the rest of the day in reality.
2 hours
3
Austrian Alps
We head towards the German border. The scenery changes from rolling hills to dramatic Alpine peaks. This is the perfect time to decompress, drink water, and listen to stories about the "Alpine Fortress" myth.
2 hours
4
The Eagle's Nest
We arrive at Obersalzberg and take the special brass elevator up to the summit.
The View: At 1,834 meters, you stand where decisions were made, overlooking Austria and Germany.
Lunch on Top: We reserve time for lunch in the restaurant inside the former conference hall. Enjoy traditional Bavarian food with a breathtaking panoramic view. (Lunch cost not included).
The History: See the fireplace presented by Mussolini and discuss the propaganda value of this retreat.
Views from the Eagle's Nest depend on the weather. Please bring a warm jacket even in summer, as it can be windy at the summit.
3 hours

Vienna
After a long, emotionally and visually rich day, you can sleep comfortably in the back seat while your professional driver takes you safely home.
