Berchtesgaden and Eagle's Nest Day Trip from Munich
Description
The impressive mountain scenery and the beautiful landscape of the Berchtesgadener Land will definitely fascinate you. A special bus and lift take you up to the Eagle's Nest at an altitude of 1,834m where you will be rewarded with spectacular views. Our guide will give a comprehensive summary of the historical events and answer any questions. Afterwards, we will have a short stop in the town of Berchtesgaden. The return journey via the German alpine road shows you the impressive valleys of Bavaria. In the event of bad weather conditions (fog, ice, snow) which make a trip up to the Eagle's Nest impossible, we offer a longer visit in the documentation center and the town of Berchtesgaden.

Itinerary
We’ll meet at 8:15 a.m. at Sonnenstrasse 1, 80331 Munich. There you’ll find a tour bus marked “Mentor Reisen,” and our friendly driver and guide will welcome you as you check in. We’ll depart at 8:30 a.m. and drive past several Munich landmarks (which the guide will explain) on our way to Eagles Nest/Obersalzberg. Don't forget your passport!!!
Upon arrival at the Obersalzberg parking lot, please proceed with your tour guide to the departure point for the special bus. Once your guide has picked up the skip-the-line tickets for the group, you will take the red special buses up the mountain for about 15 minutes. Upon arrival, walk through the tunnel to the original lift to go directly to the Eagle’s Nest (now a restaurant). On a clear day, you'll have a spectacular view from there. (you are at 1834 m altitude)
After taking the shuttle bus back down to the parking lot, you will have free time until the tour bus departs for the town of Berchtesgaden. During this time, you can have lunch at the "Berggasthof Obersalzberg" (at your own expense) or go directly to the Obersalzberg Documentation Center. The restaurant is located in the terrace hall of the former “General Walker” hotel, making it a historic building on the Obersalzberg.
The Obersalzberg Museum traces the history of Obersalzberg as a center of power during the Nazi era. It is a very interesting exhibition that reopened in 2023 following renovation and expansion. There, you can also tour the bunker complexes from the Nazi era. Admission is included in the price of the special bus tour.
After a short drive, you’ll get off the tour bus in the center of Berchtesgaden. Our experienced tour guide will lead you on a walking tour through the town, pointing out some of the main sights and explaining the history of Berchtesgaden over the course of about 20–30 minutes. After another about 30 minutes of free time in town, all participants will meet back at the bus for the return trip at around 5:15 p.m.

What an amazing experience!! Our tour guide Bea was very informative and helpful throughout the day even to the point of writing down on flash cards our arrival and departure times! She shared a lot of knowledge about Bravaria, the Eagle's Nest, and Berchtesgaden and I even learned more than I already knew! I would suggest this tour to anyone!
A little late getting going with some bus issues but once we got going was all good. Great trip.
It was nice to have all the details taken care of and on the tour we got to see Beechesgarden.
1. We missed our trip on 23rd June sine we couldn't get a cab. Susanne from Mentor Reisen accepted my request to postpone the reservation to 24th, which she did, with no charges. THANK YOU !! 2. The Driver of our Bus and the English Tour Guide were excellent in their services. 3. The trip was fantastic. We visited the historical Eagle's Nest and the guide kept on explaining the history of the place and related facts. That was awesome. THANK YOU !!
The only originals are the tunnel, elevator and fireplace. All places are otherwise taken by indoor and outdoor restaurant. Only few exhibit broads and pictures for demonstration purposes. We have 1.5 hours at foothill/parking lot which have only 1 restaurant and 1 store with poor foods - overpriced meal and souvenir selections. Tour guide Joe didn't much explanations and instructions.
Nice bus. With good AC! Guide was very knowledgeable. Everything flowed nicely. Wish I had more time in Munich to spend with them.
We had a great experience and learned a lot about Hitler. We really liked the additional information about Munich like Hitler's apartment, the eternal flame and more. The tour started with a 2 hour bus ride with commentary. They also had beer, water and coke zero for sale 2,50 and 2 but cash only. Make sure to bring cash for the bus ride up, the drinks in the bus and for ice cream in Berchesgarten. We knew about a tip and the bus cost but we would have definitely brought more for sodas/beer on the bus and ice cream (we did find an ice cream shop that took card). The bus driver was very good, I felt safe even on the scary roads, they are steep. We had plenty of time at the eagles nest. Of course we wish there was more time in the day to do more but it was very good. Suggestions - an erasable board to put time and meeting points that we can take a picture of. Sometimes I forgot the time, but I was able to ask someone or the tour guide. When smoking make sure you are far from others. Let us know that we need cash for drinks and btw I love that you had drinks on board a great idea.
A splendid trip. The greenery, the fields, the small towns, and the mountains were the best. The views from Eagle's were superb. Cancel was an excellent guide with a lot of historical knowledge. Thank you very much, Cancel!
Guide Ms Cancel was exceptional! Best I have seen. Knowledgeable and kind, customer oriented
Thank you for your review! We are happy you enjoyed the tour with Cansel.
It’s a must! The views are amazing! It’s a long day but worth it! It was a lot to see but plenty of time to see it all.
Thank you for your review! We are delighted you enjoyed the day and had enough time to explore!
