Berchtesgaden holds so much historical value with regards to World War II. During the Third Reich the Obersalzberg was the Southern Headquarters for the National Socialist Party with many top leaders owning homes here, and many important political decisions made here. This private tour is perfect for those wishing to discover this history...
This half day tour covers many of the historically important sites on the Obersalzberg, including the more hidden locations that most tourists never hear about such as the site of the Berghof; Hitler's former home. While there are many tour options that include this area, most will only stop off at the most well known spots. This tour also includes the secrets hidden on the mountain which really provide an authentic account of the fascinating history of this area.
In addition, the mountain scenery is extremely beautiful and on a clear day you will be surrounded by stunning panoramic views of the Bavarian Alps and the valley below.
Pickup included
The opportunity to visit an original section of the vast underground bunker complex buried deep below the former compound; explore the meandering labyrinth of twisting tunnels and cavernous chambers.
The tour includes a driving tour of the Obersalzberg mountainside with detailed historical commentary throughout, pointing out the most historically significant locations, including: - the site of Hermann Göring's former home, - Albert Speer's former home and studio, - the former RSD Headquarters, - the former SS officers' housing. Plus a visit on foot into the woods to the lesser known ruins of Hitler's Berghof home, including the opportunity to experience the panoramic views that were once on offer from his very house.
