Berchtesgaden & Eagle's Nest Day Trip

Leave Munich for a day trip to the Bavarian Alps, focusing on the historic Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden, linked to the Third Reich.

Description

Meet in the centre of Munich and take a bus to Berchtesgaden, a mountain town in the Bavarian Alps near the Germany-Austria border. Once arrived, head to Obersalzberg station, the starting point for visits to Kehlsteinhaus, known as the Eagle's Nest, built during the Third Reich for Nazi Party members.

To access the Eagle's Nest at over 6,000 ft (1,834 m), an elevator embedded in the rock is utilized (cost not included). Inside, view historical maps and objects associated with Hitler and the Nazi regime. The site also includes a viewpoint offering expansive views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and forests.

After a 2-hour guided tour of Kehlsteinhaus, return to the base via the lift. Proceed to Grafenhöhe, a restaurant at the mountain’s foothills, for 1 hour and 15 minutes of free time for lunch (cost not included).

Following lunch, begin the return trip to the Munich meeting point, concluding the tour after approximately 10 to 10.5 hours.
