… At the historic pilgrimage church of St. Maria Ramersdorf, dating back to the 14th century, we depart Munich and head southeast on the A8.

• Irschenberg - Soon, we arrive at ‘Mount Irschenberg,’ offering the most stunning viewpoint from a German motorway. This route, constructed in the mid-1930s as a “panoramic motorway,” was part of National Socialist propaganda, showcasing the landscape’s beauty as a staged “German Homeland.”
• Lake Chiemsee - Shortly after, we reach Bavaria’s largest lake, Lake Chiemsee, following another breathtaking view. Near the beach is Germany’s first motorway rest area from 1937/38, which the US Army used as a recreation center until 2003. An abandoned boat dock still recalls this era.
  We soon leave the motorway and travel along the “German Alpine Road,” arguably the most beautiful mountain road in the northern Alpine region.
• St. Bartholomew’s Church - No road or hiking trail encircles the 8 km (5 mile) long Lake Königssee, surrounded by towering rock walls. The popular destination on the west bank, featuring the famous pilgrimage chapel St. Bartholomä and the former hunting lodge with “The world’s most idyllic” beer garden, is accessible only by historic electric boats gliding silently along.

Experience the renowned Echo of Lake Königssee on an impressive 35-minute cruise and admire the formidable Mount Watzmann East Wall and a ‘sleeping witch’!

SKIP-THE-LINE Tickets Lake Königssee Cruise (2025):
Adults: € 22.80
Children (6 - 17 years): € 11.40 *

• Königssee - Amidst stunning alpine scenery and near the Königssee Ice bobsleigh track, the village of Königssee offers a popular pedestrian zone with affordable shopping and excellent photo opportunities.
• Berchtesgaden - First documented in the early 12th century, the former monastery foundation ‘Berthercatmen’ thrived economically due to free mining of salt and metal. Today, the market town, nestled in the breathtaking Berchtesgaden Alpine world, is one of Germany’s most popular holiday regions, rich in attractions!
  Enjoy the traffic-restricted historic town center with its beautifully painted houses and numerous shopping options. The local brewery “Hofbrauhaus Berchtesgaden” is a perfect spot for a break.
  You will also see the surprisingly large central station (opened on 1 February 1940) and the tunnel portal of the planned new railway line to Salzburg. From this period also come the “Little Reich Chancellery,” as well as the residences of Wilhelm Keitel and Alfred Jodl.
• The Eagle’s Nest - The EAGLE’S NEST (“Kehlsteinhaus”) is accessible from early May to late October (depending on snow conditions on the access road) via special shuttle buses from Obersalzberg near Berchtesgaden.

Perched spectacularly at 6,017 ft above sea level, the former Nazi representation building survived the British air raid on 25 April 1945 unscathed. Commissioned by Martin Bormann, it was constructed, including the 6.5 km long access road, in just 13 months under challenging conditions for the workers. From the bus terminus, you can reach the original elevator through a 124-meter-long tunnel, which takes you another 124 meters (406 ft) to the ‘Kehlsteinhaus,’ now a restaurant. A small exhibition reminds us of the inhumane Nazi dictatorship of the 3rd Reich.

SKIP-THE-LINE Tickets Eagle’s Nest (2025 - bus ride incl. lift):
Adults € 31.90
Children from 6 up to 14 years: € 16.50 *

• Obersalzberg - The darkest chapter of Berchtesgaden’s history unfolded on Obersalzberg, known as “Hitler’s Alpine Fortress.” This plateau below the ‘Eagle’s Nest,’ at an elevation of 1,000 m (3,200 ft), was largely seized by Hitler and his entourage and declared “Führersperrgebiet” (‘Leader’s restricted area’) from 1933.

On April 25, 1945, approximately 1,300 bombs destroyed nearly the entire area, sparing only the “Eagle’s Nest” (‘Kehlsteinhaus’) and a few other buildings.

In 1952, the ruins of most bombed-out buildings were demolished or blown up, with some rebuilt, such as the Hotel Türken.

Your guide, supported by historical photos, will gladly show you the remaining sites (locations of Hermann Göring’s and Martin Bormann’s houses, Hitler’s ‘Berghof,’ the General Walker Hotel, the coal bunker, Albert Speer’s house and studio, and more).

• Dokumentationszentrum Obersalzberg - (ON REQUEST: If you wish to visit the Obersalzberg documentation, please indicate under “Special Requirements” when booking, as depending on your stay’s duration (see recommendations at the end of this text), there will be less time for other attractions. This allows us to plan your itinerary optimally!) * Learn about the 12-year Nazi reign of terror in Berchtesgaden through display boards (in English) and film excerpts. Visit part of the extensive underground bunkers, with entrance included in the € 3.00 admission price per adult, along with audio guides in several languages. * Time required for bunker visit only: at least 30 minutes / time required for bunkers and exhibition: at least 60 - 90 minutes *
• Rossfeld Panoramastrasse - (ON REQUEST):
  Construction of this special panoramic road began in 1938 and was completed in 1955. At an altitude of 1,600 m (5,250 ft), you can cross the Austrian border on foot. Cozy mountain inns offer regional and international specialties, along with spectacular views!

The final scene of the world-famous SOUND OF MUSIC movie was filmed here in 1964.

The toll (not included in the tour price) is € 9.00 (2025) for the vehicle, including all passengers.

• Berchtesgaden Salt Mines - (ON REQUEST): Enjoy an over 1-hour tour in Germany’s oldest active salt mine. Ride a mine railway to the salt fields inside the Obersalzberg mountain. Descend to deeper levels on spectacular slides, and glide over the mysterious “Spiegelsee” (“Mirror Lake”) on a raft. Learn from your miner guide how the “white gold” has been mined here since 1517 - a fascinating experience for all ages! We recommend sturdy shoes and warm clothing (a mandatory protective suit is provided free of charge at check-in), as the salt mine maintains a constant temperature of 12 degrees Celsius (53.6 degrees Fahrenheit) year-round * SKIP-THE-LINE Tickets (2025): Adult: € 25.50 / Children (4-16 years): € 13.00 *
• Salzburg - (ON REQUEST):
  Only about a 1/2 hour drive from Berchtesgaden lies one of Europe’s most beautiful cities: Salzburg, the enchanting city of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and a favorite for ‘Sound-of-Music’ fans! Discover the historical sights (many of which were filming locations for the movie Sound-of-Music, such as the Mirabell gardens and palace) on a 50-minute guided tour of the Old Town with your guide. Depending on your preferences, we can visit other attractions by car, such as Hellbrunn Palace with its unique Trick Fountains (admission for the approximately 45-minute tour is extra) and the Sound-of-Music Gazebo, or enjoy some free time to explore and shop. * Package-PRICES a) or b) for professional Salzburg city tour incl. old city district parking fees - the prices are valid for your entire group (i.e., not per person) - and can only be paid in cash on site to your guide: * Price a) if the booked time frame of 9.5 or 11 hours is not exceeded (restrictions on other stops are possible): € 65.00 * or * Price b) including 1 extra hour: € 125.00
