Description

Begin your journey in Munich and enjoy scenic views of the Bavarian countryside and the Austrian Alps along the way. Arrive in Salzburg, the birthplace of the legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. During your stop in Salzburg, see Mozart's Birthplace and Mirabell Palace and its beautiful gardens. Enjoy free time to explore the charming Old Town, take photos, or relax in a local café. Next, continue to Wolfgangsee: One of Austria’s most beautiful alpine lakes. Enjoy breathtaking mountain landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and picturesque villages along the route. From St. Wolfgang station, you can take the train to the peak 'Heaven's Gate,' which is 'Himmelspforte' in German. The view from the peak is extraordinary, the Matrebel goes almost to the horizon. If you are determined to climb, we recommend buying Matrebel tickets in advance online. Write to us and we will help you. If you decide to climb to this location, then you will miss Salzburg because it will not be able to accommodate you, and you will choose this location together with Hallstatt. The highlight of the tour is a visit to Hallstatt, one of the most iconic and beautiful villages in Austria, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Hallstatt, enjoy free time to walk along the lakeside, take amazing photos from panoramic viewpoints, explore the charming streets and traditional houses, and visit local cafés and souvenir shops. After an unforgettable day filled with stunning landscapes and cultural landmarks, return to Munich in the evening.
