Private Tour: Eagle's Nest Half Day Tour
Cross into Germany and ascend toward the Obersalzberg, an alpine area once central to Nazi leadership. Here, reserved mountain buses navigate a remarkable 6.5-kilometer road carved directly into the rock face, climbing a steep 22 percent grade to reach the Eagle’s Nest at 1,820 meters. This engineering feat sets the stage for an in-depth visit to one of the region’s most historically significant sites.
Upon arrival, a private guide leads a tour through Adolf Hitler’s former mountain retreat, including the iconic fireplace room and other preserved spaces that reveal how the building functioned as a diplomatic and strategic setting during the Third Reich. Along the way, your guide shares historical context, personal stories, and lesser-known details that illuminate the site’s role during the era.
Stepping onto the outdoor terraces, participants are rewarded with sweeping views of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps, an unforgettable panorama that highlights the dramatic landscape surrounding this mountaintop landmark.
