The bus takes a scenic road past the Eagles Nest with an stop for a photo opportunity, as well as stops in the town of Berchtesgaden for an hour for shopping and walking around. Being able to walk right into the Salt Mines was a huge win too as there was a LONG line of people waiting. Well worth the ticket price for the tour!”
