About this experience
On this private full-day tour, travelers will explore Eagle's Nest, Lake Königssee, and the historical site of the 'Fuehrer Headquarters.' The journey begins with a scenic drive to the historic town of Berchtesgaden, followed by a cruise across Lake Königssee to St. Bartholomä. Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy views from Eagle's Nest, accessible via shuttle bus from May to October, and learn about the area's significance during the Nazi regime. At Obersalzberg, participants can explore preserved buildings and an extensive bunker network, guided by a professional who will provide historical context. The tour also includes a visit to a location featured in 'The Sound of Music.' This tour is suitable for those interested in history and natural beauty, but may not be ideal for individuals with mobility issues due to the varied terrain and elevation. It is important to note that the tour is conducted in a comfortable VW Minivan, and guests will return to Munich after a day of exploration.

2
Irschenberg
Soon we reach the 'Mount Irschenberg', the most beautiful view point that you can have from a German motorway. This Motorway route was built in the mid-1930s as a "panoramic motorway". These today unusual routings were part of the National Socialist propaganda: the beauty of the landscape was abused by deliberately staging "German Homeland".
3
Chiemsee
A little later, after another magnificent view, we reach the largest lake in Bavaria, lake Chiemsee. On its shore was Germany's first highway rest stop, whose partially still visible buildings were used by the US Army as a recreation center until 2003 after the war.
4
Kehlsteinhaus
You can reach the Eagle's Nest (in German: 'Kehlsteinhaus') on a 15-minute ride with spectacular views on special buses from the Obersalzberg terminal. The building, sitting in a spectacular location over 1,800 meters (6,000 ft) above sea level, was constructed on the orders of Martin Bormann—including the 6.5 km access road—in just 13 months under mostly very difficult conditions for the workers. From the mountain bus terminal, you pass through a 124-meter-long tunnel to the original elevator, which takes you another 124 meters up to the Eagle's Nest, now operating as a restaurant. On a short historical tour, you'll see, among other things, the famous open fireplace made of red marble, a gift from Mussolini to Hitler. From the restaurant terrace, it only takes about 5 minutes to reach the summit cross, from where you get breathtaking views of the Eagle's Nest and the surrounding mountains. ***** SKIP-THE-LINE tickets (2026) - Bus ride including lift and access to the Eagle's Nest: Adults: €34.70 Children (6 to 14 years): €17.20
5
Dokumentationszentrum Obersalzberg
Learn more about the 12-year reign of terror of the Nazis in Berchtesgaden in the Obersalzberg documentation, and visit a part of the extensive bunker complex that has been opened to the public. For visitors with a ticket to the Eagle's Nest, admission is free, otherwise €4.50/adult (2026). Audio guides are available for free. You have about 30 minutes available, which is enough for visiting the bunkers. If you need more time, for example to visit the rest of the exhibition, this can be arranged on request.
6
Berchtesgaden
First mentioned in a document at the beginning of the 12th century, the former monastery foundation 'Berthercatmen' experienced an economic upswing thanks to the free mining on salt and metal. Today, the market town embedded in the overwhelming Berchtesgaden Alpine world is rightly one of the most popular holiday regions in Germany due to its abundance of sights! Enjoy the the traffic-restricted historic town center with its delightfully painted houses and numerous shopping opportunities. The local brewery "Hofbrauhaus Berchtesgaden" is an ideal place to take a break. You will also see the surprisingly huge central station (opened on 1 February 1940) and the tunnel portal of the planned new railway line to Salzburg. Also from this unspeakable period come the "Little Reich Chancellery", as well as the residences of Wilhelm Keitel and Alfred Jodl.
7
Berchtesgaden Salt Mines
(ON REQUEST): Enjoy a tour lasting over an hour in Germany's oldest active salt mine. A mine train takes you to the salt fields inside the Obersalzberg. On spectacular slides, you reach the deeper levels, and on a raft, you glide over the mysterious "Mirror Lake." Learn from your miner guide how "white gold" has been mined here since 1517 – a fascinating experience for both young and old! We recommend sturdy footwear and plenty of warm clothing (upon check-in, you will receive a mandatory protective suit for free). The salt mine maintains a constant temperature of 12 degrees Celsius (53.6 degrees Fahrenheit) year-round. ***** SKIP-THE-LINE Tickets (2026): Adults: €26.50 / Children (4-16 years): €13.50 *****
8
Rossfeld Panoramastrasse
The construction of this scenic panoramic road began in 1938 and was completed in 1955. At the highest point, 1,600 meters (5,200 ft) above sea level, you can cross the Austrian border on foot. The final sequence of the movie 'Sound of Music' was filmed on a mountain ridge above the Panorama road. Cozy mountain inns offer regional and international specialties, with spectacular views included for free! The flat toll fee (not included in the travel price) is €10.00 (2026).
9
Salzburg
(ON REQUEST): Just about a 1/2 hour drive from Berchtesgaden, you'll find one of the most beautiful cities in Europe: Salzburg, the city of Mozart and for many fans also the 'Sound of Music' city! On an approximately 50-minute old town walking tour with your guide, discover all the historic sights (many of which were also filming locations for the Sound of Music movie). If you want to invest more time (see below), you can, for example, visit the Hohensalzburg Fortress or other attractions that we can reach by car, such as Hellbrunn Palace with its overwhelming & unique trick fountains and/or the Sound of Music gazebo, or the gardens of Mirabell Palace. ***** Package PRICES a) or b) for a professional city tour of Salzburg including parking fees – the prices apply to your entire group (so not per person) – and can only be paid in cash on site to your guide: ***** Price a) the booked timeframe of 9.5 or 11 hours will not be exceeded (restrictions at other stops are possible): €70.00 ***** or ***** Price b) including 1 extra hour: €135.00
