“Paradise on earth – an excursion to the lakes of the Salzkammergut” (45€)

Salzkammergut in translation means “Pantry of salt”, is located in the very center of the country. This part of Austria is the most beautiful and sparkles with surprisingly unusual panoramas. Imagine a landscape where small villages on the slopes of the Alps are reflected in the mirror-like surface of bottomless lakes. We are waiting for an acquaintance with Gelstatt, a small village in the Austrian Alps. Since ancient times, it has been famous for its salt mines, and now for toy houses and elegant views, and there is also a special feeling of unprecedented isolation from civilization and peace. Gelstatt is a heavenly town, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

“Salzburg in the palm of your hand” (18€ + entry ticket)

On the way, if there is time, we suggest visiting the “Tiny Principality of Liechtenstein” (20€)

An absolutely fabulous place, somehow miraculously fit between Switzerland and Austria. There is still a strong monarchy here, namely the principality is named after the ruling dynasty: only the rulers of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Saudi Arabia are immortalized with such an honor. The local architecture is, as it were, an illustration of a romantic medieval ballad: castles, chapels and other ancient sights are all over the place.

Arrival in Zurich, Sightseeing tour of the city of Zurich (in the cost of the tour)

This is not only the Swiss metropolis, known for its numerous banks and funds (even its name “Zu Reich” – “too rich”, as if to say so). This is a picturesque city, washed by the clear waters of the river and lake (the water in which is drinkable!), Very frisky and with a rich cultural heritage. Zurich is able to conquer and subdue any tourist, from the traditionalist, who will take his breath away from the landscapes of the Old Town against the backdrop of hills and mountains, to the modern traveler, who will find thousands of stylish cafes, bars, restaurants and plenty of entertainment here.

In our free time we offer optional excursions:

“Lucerne – Switzerland in miniature” (36€)

One of the 10 most visited cities in the world by tourists is located on the shores of the magical lake of the 4 forest powers (Vierwaldstättersee), where the Reuss flows out. The famous covered wooden bridges, decorated with paintings, the magnificent interior decoration of Catholic churches with amazing acoustics and ancient organs, preserved from the 16th century, the fortress wall and the monument carved into the rock of a dying lion, all this leaves up to 1 billion francs a year in a city with a population of 67 thousand.

“Rhine Falls – a natural pearl of Switzerland” (36€)

The Rhine Falls is the most powerful waterfall in Europe. Water falls from a height of 25 meters, and the width of the waterfall reaches 150 meters. At any time of the year, in sunny weather, an amazing rainbow hovers over the waterfall in a fog of water breezes. The German romantic poet, at the sight of the Rhine Falls, described his feelings as follows: “Oh, traveler, be careful and keep your heart firmly in your hands! I almost lost my contemplation of the powerful play of huge masses of water with joy!”

Transfer to the hotel. Overnight at the hotel.

Breakfast. Check out from the hotel.
Moving to Munich.

On the way, we suggest visiting the legendary “Swan Castle Neuschwanstein” (25€, external review)

At first glance at this castle, it seems that someone has forgotten their toy here – its ivory towers flying against the background of dark green fir trees seem so unreal. Although if you get closer, the feeling of fabulousness is unlikely to disappear, because hundreds of little things will become visible that do not fit into the reality of the Alpine slopes that give the backdrop to this German fairy tale … The castle is the most frequently photographed and most visited by tourists in Bavaria. After the tour, you can safely say: “We have been in a real Bavarian fairy tale!”
