147- Day Seven- A Day in the Salt Mines


We traveled to Saltzburg, Austria. Saltzburg means Salt Fortress. We toured the salt mine that made it one of the richest cities during the 18th and 19th centuries. We rode a skinny rail tram into the mine and then enjoyed an interesting tour that included riding the wooden salt rails and crossing an underground salt lake on a boat. We looked up and saw the Eagles Nest- Hitler's retreat- in Berchtesgaden. We enjoyed a delicious meal at our hotel's biergarten.
