Eagles' Nest History: The Obersalzberg, Bunker and Berchtesgaden
4.7 / 5 · 1,237 traveler reviews
The breathtaking mountain scenery and beautiful landscape of the Berchtesgadener Land will impress you. We’ll drive up to an altitude of about 1,000 meters, where you’ll have the opportunity to visit the “Dokumentation Obersalzberg” museum on the Obersalzberg for a fee with a historical bunker complex. Our guide will provide you with comprehensive information about the historical events and lead a short walking tour on the Obersalzberg to the ruins of the “Berghof”. Since the Eagle’s Nest burned down on October 23, 2026, we are currently unable to offer a trip up to this historic viewpoint. However, you can see the building from a distance from the Obersalzberg. Afterward, we’ll drive into the town of Berchtesgaden for a short stop, where our tour guide will lead a guided tour of the town in English. Part of the return trip will take us along the German Alpine Road.

The restaurant is located in the terrace hall of the former “General Walker” hotel, making it a historic building on the Obersalzberg.
