2. Upon arrival at the Obersalzberg parking lot, please proceed with your tour guide to the departure point for the special bus. Once your guide has picked up the skip-the-line tickets for the group, you will take the red special buses up the mountain for about 15 minutes. Upon arrival, walk through the tunnel to the original lift to go directly to the Eagle’s Nest (now a restaurant). On a clear day, you'll have a spectacular view from there. (you are at 1834 m altitude)

3. After taking the shuttle bus back down to the parking lot, you will have free time until the tour bus departs for the town of Berchtesgaden. During this time, you can have lunch at the "Berggasthof Obersalzberg" (at your own expense) or go directly to the Obersalzberg Documentation Center. The restaurant is located in the terrace hall of the former “General Walker” hotel, making it a historic building on the Obersalzberg.

4. The Obersalzberg Museum traces the history of Obersalzberg as a center of power during the Nazi era. It is a very interesting exhibition that reopened in 2023 following renovation and expansion. There, you can also tour the bunker complexes from the Nazi era. Admission is included in the price of the special bus tour.

• 4Guide and driver were...

  Guide and driver were great. Mist at top of Eagles Nest impaired all visibility. Can't predict the weather

• 5Don’t miss these amazing views!

  Was a rainy/gloomy day but the tour was great. Our tour guide Elizabeth was fantastic and shared so many facts. Eagles nest is small but interesting to see.

• 5Informative and well organized

  Gocksell and Elizabeth were amazing guides. The trip was informative and well organized. We even had a special lunch opportunity at the Eagles Nest, despite there being a wedding reception. Would definitely recommend.

• 5Great Tour

  My husband and I had a great time. Our tour guide Maria was so informative the entire trip. I was impressed at how knowledgeable she was with history and the surrounding areas. She was so kind and easy to talk to. I would definitely book this trip again if I had the chance.

• 4Eagles Nest Honesty.

  The weather was rainy, the clouds were low, views were minimal. The tour guide was super knowledgeable, the food at the Eagles Nest parking area was FAST, Hot and delicious. I wished we’d had more time to see the museum and bunker tunnels. We were literally running thru to see some of it. With it being a crappy weather day we only needed 1/2 the time up in the eagles nest. Even on a good day there was too much time alotted. Alot of us were killing time up there. We stopped at the little town, it was quaint. It is actually at the cemetery that Hitlers sister was buried. I believe our tour guide said that. However, the tour giude talked for 5 hrs. At some point you just are not listening anymore. A few breaks from too much information would have been nice. I would recommend it, hope you get better weather.

About Munich

Munich is the Bavarian capital, with a rebuilt old town, beer gardens, royal palaces and the Alps visible on clear days to the south.

Marienplatz, the main square, is overlooked by the neo-Gothic New Town Hall, whose Glockenspiel chimes with mechanical figures, and by the twin onion-domed towers of the Frauenkirche. The Viktualienmarkt close by is a food market with a beer garden. The Residenz, the former home of Bavaria's rulers, has lavish halls and a treasury, and Nymphenburg Palace stands in a park to the west.

Top-ranked sights in Munich: Neuschwanstein Castle, Marienplatz, Odeonsplatz.
