Private Eagles Nest, Third Reich & Lake Königssee Tour with Lunch

The full day trip starts in the morning, with pick up at your Munich accommodation. Step into a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle embarking on tour. Cool drinks and snacks will be waiting for you in a comfortable vehicle.

Soon, we will reach Mount Irschenberg, the most stunning viewpoint you can experience from a German highway. This motorway route was constructed in the mid-1930s as a "panoramic motorway." These now unconventional paths were part of National Socialist propaganda: the beauty of the landscape was exploited by intentionally presenting it as a symbol of the "German Homeland."

A short time later, after another breathtaking view, we arrive at the largest lake in Bavaria, Lake Chiemsee.

As soon as we have arrived at the beautiful Koenigssee, we will first enjoy the wonderful landscape on a boat trip. While relaxing on the lake you will learn interesting background knowledge about the place and the surrounding region. Our boat will bring us to the famous St. Bartholomew's Island. There we will discover the historical St. Bartholomew's church, the beautiful surrounding area and stop for a delicious Bavarian lunch in a typical beer garden.

As soon as we have arrived at the Eagle's Nest, you will explore the palace with me - your private guide. Following up we will have plenty of great photo opportunities, be it the Eagle's Nest itself, the historical items inside, or the spectacular surrounding mountain area.

After exploring Obersalzberg, we will stop at the "World War II Memorial and Educational Center" for an audio guided tour through the exhibition. The Dokumentation Obersalzberg is a museum in the Obersalzberg resort near Berchtesgaden, providing information on the use of the mountainside retreat by Nazi leaders, especially Adolf Hitler who regularly spent time in this area beginning in 1928. The museum was opened in 1999, and by 2007 had been visited by more than one million people.

The darkest chapter of Berchtesgaden's history occurred on the Obersalzberg, known as "Hitler's Alpine Fortress." This plateau, located below the "Eagle's Nest" at a height of 1,000 meters (3,200 feet), was largely seized by Hitler and his entourage and designated as the "Führersperrgebiet" (Leader's Restricted Area) starting in 1933. On April 25, 1945, approximately 1,300 bombs destroyed nearly the entire area, with the "Eagle's Nest" (Kehlsteinhaus) and a few other buildings being spared. In 1952, the ruins of most bombed-out buildings were either demolished or blown up, though some were rebuilt, such as the Hotel Türken. I would be happy to show you the remaining sites, including the locations of Hermann Göring's and Martin Bormann's houses, as well as Hitler's 'Berghof' and much more.

After a day filled with unforgettable memories in Berchtesgaden and Obersalzberg, relax as I drive you comfortably back to your hotel in Munich. Sit back, enjoy the scenic ride, and let the day’s impressions sink in. With my years of experience creating seamless private tours, you can travel with complete comfort and peace of mind — everything is taken care of.
