Itinerary
We meet at the airport at 5.00am for our KM Malta Airlines flight departing at 7.15am. On arrival in Munich airport at 9.45am, our coach takes us to Munich centre where we can stroll around Marienplatz with its majestic Town Hall. We later make our way to our 4-star Hotel Gruner Baum in Zell-am-See. After check-in, we can join our tour leader to explore Zell-am-See’s medieval centre. One can stroll around the pedestrian streets of Zell-am-See with a variety of shops, restaurants, bars and pavement cafes.
The first optional full-day excursion takes us on a panoramic tour towards the Austrian Alps with our first stop being the scenic village of Heiligenblut, one of the most beautiful localities in the entire Alpine region. Time to go around this peaceful village centre with a visit to the majestic St Vincent Pilgrimage Church. After this short stop, we will head towards Austria’s highest peak, the Grossglockner and its surrounding snow-capped peaks. The view from the Grossglockner summit at a height of 3,798m, is one of the farthest of all mountains in the Eastern Alps.
Today’s full-day optional excursion takes us first to Sigmund-Thun Gorge (extra) where we experience the mighty, thunderous waterfalls. To date, the Kapruner Ache has managed to cut its way 32m deep on its 320m long path through Sigmund-Thun Gorge, creating strikingly smooth stretches of rock, basins, and potholes. We will later head to Lake Königssee in neighbouring Germany. We will walk around the charming quay before taking a boat trip (extra) to Salet. On the way, we shall see St Bartholomew’s peninsula and the lake’s landmark which is St Bartholomew’s pilgrimage church. We shall stop in Salet, and we’ll have time to walk around and enjoy the stunning scenery before boarding the boat for our return trip.
Today’s optional full-day excursion will take us to visit the over 900-year-old Hohenwerfen Castle (extra) on the steep peak high above the Salzach Valley. This incredible castle was the site for the 1968 WWII classic film “Where Eagles Dare”. We will reach the castle’s entrance by a cable car where we will meet the local guide to take us around the interior of the castle, followed by falconry demonstrations with birds of prey. After this impressive, spectacular show, we will head towards Hallstatt on Lake Hallstatt. Its 16th century Alpine houses and alleyways are home to cafes and shops. The village is one of the world’s most beautiful motives photographed against the stunning backdrop. We will later proceed for a coffee stop (extra) in St Johan im Pongau.
Another full-day optional excursion will take us to the renowned city of Salzburg, with one of the best-preserved city centres. On arrival, we enter Mirabel Gardens and later, walk over Makarsteg Bridge towards the city’s historic centre where we shall see Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s birthplace, St Peter’s Abbey, and the cemetery, made famous in the musical movie ‘The Sound of Music’. We later proceed to visit Hellbrunn Palace (extra), which is a popular attraction with its unique grounds full of surprises, water games and trick fountains.
Today, for our full-day optional excursion, we head towards the Krimmler Waterfalls (extra). This fantastic attraction cascades plunges down 381m in three steps of fall joining the River Salzach which flows to the River Inn, the River Danube and finally to the Black Sea. Our next stop will be in Kufstein, second largest city in the Austrian Tyrol after Innsbruck. We stroll around this town by the lush banks of the river Inn, admire the colourful house facades and the impressive Römerhofgasse. One can also visit Kufstein Fortress (extra), the landmark which enthrones on its elevated position in the centre of the town.
For our last optional full-day excursion, we first visit the so-called Eagle’s Nest, built as a teahouse atop the summit of Kehlstein Mountain for Adolf Hitler’s 50th birthday as a retreat and place to entertain friends and dignitaries (transportation and bus ride extra). Today the building is owned by a charitable trust. The summit offers an amazing panoramic scenery of mountain peaks and valleys. We later proceed towards the nearby town of Berchtesgaden, a Bavarian picturesque little mountain town, full of great sights. Together we will roam around the city centre with its super charming colourful buildings.
After check-out, we make our way to Munich airport for our KM Malta Airlines flight departing at 11.00am and arriving in Malta at 1.20pm.
