About this experience

Take a full-day coach trip from Munich to the Berchtesgaden Mountains, which includes a visit to Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), a historic mountaintop lodge built by the Nazis. This site is located at 6,148 feet (1,834 meters) on Mt. Kehlstein and provides stunning views of the Alps. It's worth noting that Hitler seldom visited this lodge due to his fear of heights and vertigo. The visit to Eagle's Nest is available from May to the end of October, subject to weather conditions.
