We tried to go to the salt mines, but there was an issue there that caused a delay. We were glad Manfred was familiar with the operation to know that it would not be worth the time to wait for it.

The salt mine was a highlight for the kids, especially riding the slides. The tour of Eagle’s Nest is also worth the trip - the views are amazing.
