Discover Eagle's Nest

This is the meeting point for the tour (Salzbergstrasse 45, 83471, Berchtesgaden, Germany). Our experienced guide will meet you at the top of the stairs, below the blue & white flags, at the Eagle’s Nest bus departure location. They will begin the tour with an explanation of the history of the Obersalzberg mountainside; an area that comprised a sprawling compound during the National Socialist regime, learning about why the mountainside was so decisive, and how and why it became so important to Hitler during the Nazi dictatorship. The introduction will be accompanied by a selection of period photographs to help you to visualise the grand structures and how they formerly made up the once vast Alpine heaquarters.

You'll travel together with your guide in one of the specially designed mountain buses driving up the private road to the Eagle's Nest. You will be shown around the historic building paying particular attention to the many original features that still remain, including the famous brass elevator, and learning the details of the impressive construction of Hitler's mountaintop masterpiece. The tour will include ample opportunities to take photos, ask any questions you may have, and also some free time to explore the Eagle's Nest independently. Not forgetting that the Eagle's Nest is today a restaurant, you'll also have a chance to grab a quick bite to eat or enjoy a Bavarian beer. The tour includes ca. 1 hour of free time to yourselves, after the guide has finished with all of the historical information. However this is flexible and can be extended (at no additional cost) if you'd like to spend longer up at the Eagle's Nest.
