The 7 Best Eagle’s Nest Day Trips from Munich

1.Berchtesgaden and Eagle’s Nest Day Tour from Munich

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,077 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $76Our pick

Travel from Munich by air-conditioned coach to Berchtesgaden and Obersalzberg, then ride the mountain bus and elevator to Hitler’s former Eagle’s Nest retreat. Guides such as Ursula, Johnny, Beatrix, and Courtney add useful historical context. Lunch and the €35 Eagle’s Nest admission cost extra.

“The bus left on time. The drive to the Eagles nest was straightforward despite there being an accident on the auto barn. The driver was excellent. The guide was also excellent. The time permitted at the Eagles nest and Berghof was enough. The drive back to Munich was long. I probably would’ve appreciated more information regarding berghof and surrounding area to have context. The context really wasn’t provided until I went through the document centre. The view from the nest and the entire area is spectacular and well worth the effort.”
