Stop 1
Travelers visit the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), a historic mountain retreat on Mount Kehlstein at an elevation of 1,834 meters (6,017 feet) above sea level. Built during World War II and associated with Adolf Hitler, the site is today a famous viewpoint and visitor attraction. All visitors gather at a designated meeting area in Obersalzberg, as private vehicles are not allowed beyond this point. From there, special mountain buses carrying around 40 passengers travel along a steep alpine road to the summit. The visit is self guided, with audio guides available in multiple languages providing historical information. The Eagle’s Nest is renowned for its dramatic panoramic views across the Bavarian and Austrian Alps. At the top, visitors can enjoy the mountain restaurant and café located beside the historic building, offering food, drinks, and unforgettable scenery.

Visitors can also explore underground bunker tunnels built during the war, offering insight into how the area was used and protected at that time. The visit is self-guided and helps travelers better understand the historical background of nearby landmarks such as the Eagle’s Nest.

There is also time to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant or café overlooking the lake (meal not included), allowing travelers to relax and experience the village atmosphere at their own pace.
