Eagle's Nest, Lake Königssee and 'Fuehrer Headquarters' Private Tour from Munich
Spectacular views, an idyllic, crystal clear mountain lake, and German history from the Middle Ages to the infamous Nazi rule during the 3rd Reich: all this and much more awaits you on this private full-day PANORAMA-Tour with your personal and professional guide. Starting with a drive that offers many scenic highlights, you will then be enchanted by the historic town of Berchtesgaden - finally the cruise across Lake Königssee to the renowned peninsula of St. Bartholomä will simply take your breath away!
Enjoy the view from the spectacular Eagle's Nest view point (Shuttle busses from May - Oct), then gain a deeper understanding of the tragic history of the Obersalzberg area.
Almost 1,000 m/ 3,200 ft above sea level, this plateau was confiscated by Hitler and his entourage as the 2nd seat of government. Some buildings from this period as well as the extensive bunker network are still partially preserved and open to the public – explore these and much more hidden vestiges from the '3rd Reich' together with your guide, supported by historical photographs.
On a nearby Panorama Road we reach in our comfortable and new VW-Minivan the highest point of our excursion, which is at the same time a 'Sound-of-Music' Film location. With these unforgettable impressions we return back to Munich.

IrschenbergPass-by Only
Soon we reach the 'Mount Irschenberg', the most beautiful view point that you can have from a German motorway. This Motorway route was built in the mid-1930s as a "panoramic motorway". These today unusual routings were part of the National Socialist propaganda: the beauty of the landscape was abused by deliberately staging "German Homeland".
Chiemsee
A short time later, after another magnificent view, we reach the largest lake in Bavaria, Lake Chiemsee. Close to the beach there is Germany's first motorway rest area from 1937/38, whose extensive building facilities after WWII were used by the US Army as one of three recreation centres ("AFRC Lake Hotel") until 2003. An abandoned boat dock is still reminiscent of this time. Soon we leave the motorway and drive along the "German Alpine Road". It is probably the most beautiful mountain road in the northern Alpine region.
