Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Meet your guide in Mirabellplatz in central Salzburg. Hop aboard your coach and begin your journey, passing the historic Hellbrunn Castle before crossing the border into Bavaria. Gaze out at the alpine scenery as you travel along the Konigsee River Valley and mountains peppered with farmhouses.

Arrive at the mountainside hamlet of Obersalzburg. Snake up the scenic road on a brief shuttle ride, passing the mountain of Hoher Göll. Then, debark and step inside a World War II-era elevator made from brass, which once transported Hitler’s guests to the Eagle’s Nest. At the top, bypass the crowds with a direct access ticket and enter the complex.

Built for Hitler’s 50th birthday, wander the site with your guide, learning the history behind it as you go. Soak up the incredible views as you look out from a perch of some 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) above ground.

Afterward, visit the charming town of Berchtesgaden to explore independently and purchase lunch. Your half-day excursion will conclude with drop-off at your original departure point in Salzburg.

Fantastic View and Historical Too!
Dennis M

Skip the line was well worth it, as we did not need transport to the pickup area and the lines were long. The commentary on the bus was entertaining and informative. The view at Eagle's Nest was wonderful. This was a highlight of our trip to Germany.

Eagle’s Nest Tour

The tour is a two faced tour since is an historical tour and also a sightseeing tour. For the historical part I am an history buff and I knew most of the history related to this place, the only more I needed to have was a visit. The view from the terraces are outstanding, they say that is possible to see 200 miles from there in a clear day...the view and the nest makes this tour a nice complement to a visit in the area

This was a great and educational tour. We had great weather leaving Salzburg with the bus, which was punctual. Our tour guide "Walt" provided a very informative narrative of our trip and it was presented in a very understandable manner.He certainly made the tour very enjoyable.

Really enjoyed this value for money tour. Walter the guide was engaging and full of interesting facts. Lunch in Berteschgarten was great (recommend the golden Bear pub). They warn you to take your passport which we needed when crossing into Germany.

Great tour! Our informative guide provided ample history, humour, and guidance to make the trip relaxing and enjoyable. We lucked out with perfect weather, so the view was absolutely spectacular. Only one suggestion: I think the tour could have let us eat lunch up at the top, rather than in a town down the mountain.

We couldn't see the view, because it was showing, but that was an experience in itself. Seamless day, but it would have been nicer to have more time up there. Would organise myself next time.

very much like herding sheep, the guide has obviously been doing the tour for a long time and doesn’t really enjoy his job or actually like tourists. The views are spectacular however.

This was a large bus tour. After the hour or so drive on small roads, we ended up at the parking area. We transferred buses to make our way up the hill. If you have a problem with heights this tour is not for you. The history is fascinating in this place and the views are unbelievable. I would recommend this tour
