Embark on the most extensive WWII history tour departing from Vienna. In a single remarkable day, explore the two extremes of the Third Reich: the harsh reality of the Mauthausen Concentration Camp and the imposing symbol of power, The Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus).

This is a full day tour (approximately 12-13 hours), thoughtfully designed for your comfort. Travel with a dedicated team: a professional driver ensures a safe and seamless journey, while a historian guide devotes time to explaining the intricate history of the era. From the depths of the quarry to the heights of the Alps, witness it all.

Experience the surreal journey through the marble tunnel and the renowned brass elevator ascending 124 meters through the rock. At the summit, the stark contrast between the camp’s cold granite and the opulent Alpine panorama creates a compelling narrative of the regime’s duality. We manage all complex logistics, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in this unforgettable historical experience.

• This tour is seasonal and operates from May to October only due to weather conditions at the Eagle’s Nest.
