Private Tour
Eagle's Nest and 'The Where Eagles Dare Castle' of Werfen
Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
Spend a day in the Alps and visit the Eagle's Nest, 'The Where Eagle's Dare Castle' of Werfen and admire at the Golling Waterfalls. Next to the historical Eagle's Nest the 11th century Fortress Hohenwerfen, one of the most magnificent mountain fortifications in the Alps, is another top highlight of this 8-hour private tour from Salzburg.
From April 1st to about May 10th (depends on the snow conditions of the year), the Eagle's Nest direct access road is closed, alternatively we offer to visit the Rossfeld summit instead. From this vantage point, soak in panoramic views of the stunning Austrian and Bavarian Alps and the nearby Eagle's Nest. Feel free to choose this option also when Eagle's Nest is opened if you prefer a much less crowded, more local site than the Eagle's Nest.

Our guide Patrick was informative, entertaining, personable and his English was excellent. He also came well equipped with videos and photos to provide context and enhance the experience. Highly recommend this tour.

5.00We had a wonderful all-day private tour with Patrick! We were not able to visit The Eagle's Nest because an earlier snowfall and avalanche blocked access to the hilltop site. Instead, Patrick offered a couple of options and we chose to visit the beautiful Gollinger Wasserfall. The historic Werfen Castle was so majestic and interesting. As another added treat, Patrick took us to the site of Hitler's original home! We also had a nice lunch at a rooftop restaurant in a nearby town. Throughout our drive Patrick pointed out local landmarks and told us interesting information about the area. His genuine friendliness and enthusiasm made it a truly enjoyable day. We would highly recommend this tour!

5.00A fantastic day out, Our host Manfred was exceptional. You could see his passion for making our experience a memorable one. Although not able to make Werfen we were able to arrange a trip to the salt mines at short notice. Manfred added extra parts to the trip at the Eagles Nest which was fascinating. Thanks again great day!
Amazing locations and some unexpected bonus's along the way.

5.00Most enjoyable day as we headed into the mountains. Our guide the very hospitable Lena took us on a journey though the spectacular countryside. Giving us great insight into the history whilst also engaging in conversations where we got a great feel for Austria and its culture. Tour also included a booking at a fabulous restaurant with views of our destination and some sizable surprises which blew our minds along the way. (Took their Salzburg Lake District and Hallstatt tour the next day, just as amazing) Highly recommend this family run tour company. Great people who clearly take pride and enjoy what they do.

5.00We took the tour to Eagle’s Nest and Berchtesgaden from Salzburg. The tour guide was punctual and professional. He drove us to our destination and pointed out several areas on the route! It was spectacular scenery and the tour guide/driver knew the area well! He maneuvered the traffic well and took different routes to and from so we could see different scenery. We were very pleased with this group and would recommend!
