Sightseeing Tours Berchtesgaden - Eagle's Nest Tours
Join us for a detailed historical account of the construction and use of the Eagle’s Nest, a unique mountaintop conference center, as well as for a driving and educational tour of the Obersalzberg area, the site of Hitler’s former residence and alpine redoubt.
Content of the Eagle's Nest sightseeing tours Berchtesgaden:
Obersalzberg - the leaders’ compound: the bus takes you up steep mountain roads to Obersalzberg. Here the history of Obersalzberg’s takeover by the Nazi Party will be told; catch glimpses of location of Hitler’s home, the ‘Berghof’ and much more
The bunker system: you will be shown one of the underground bunker complexes below the mountain; the extensive fortress-like system was built as an air raid shelter
The Eagle’s Nest: You will then board a specially equipped mountain bus for a breathtaking drive up the 6.5 km (4 mile) road on the edge of the cliff; leading up a 27% incline to a high mountain parking lot, just below the ‘Eagle’s Nest’. The original brass-lined elevator will then transport you up through the heart of Kehlstein mountain straight into the building itself.
Our sightseeing tour is conducted by professional guides whose mother tongue is English.
Due to its high elevation, the Eagle's Nest is only open from about mid May through October and closed in the winter.
In low season we offer an Obersalzberg / Bunker tour which is a history-focused tour of the former 3rd Reich sites near the Eagle's Nest - it operates every afternoon (except Sundays) from Nov. until the middle of May.
