Journey through the spectacular scenery of Königsee River Valley and the Bavarian Alps to Obersalzberg, and then continue to the clifftop Eagle’s Nest by shuttle bus and elevator.

Start your tour passing by the Salzburg city center with its beautiful baroque townscape
Before you cross the German Border, pass by the heart-chakra of Europe – Untersberg this fascinating landmark spell-bounding since centuries with its mythical power, Hitler even chose to build his headquarters at the Obersalzberg, so he could see the Untersberg every day.
Arrive at the mountainside hamlet of Obersalzberg. Snake up the scenic road on a brief shuttle ride, enjoy breathtiking views of spectacular Alpine mountain ranges and deep blue Kings Lake. 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.
