We have just returned from a 4.5 hour tour of the bunkers and the Eagles Nest, conducted by David Harper, and were most impressed. David certainly knew his history, and really brought the story to life for us. We were extremely fortunate to have the perfect day, with clear blue skies and the sun shining. There was still some snow... More

Arrived at the carpark early in the morning as we were told nobody can drive up the mountain. Good thing, because the road up on the bus in crazy! All the inclines, turns, etc. would be so hazardous to any driver. Once we took the elevator up to the top we were instantly amazed at the stunning views. Any direction... More

My husband and I, along with another couple from the USA, visited Germany for a few weeks last August and September (2011). We have been many times, but this was our first visit to Eagle's Nest, although we have been to Berchtesgaden in the past. This is a 'Must Visit' if you plan on going to Bavaria. There are special...

Were were disappointed by the Eagles nest. When you get to the top it has great views but that is it. Hitler's chalet has been turned into a restaurant and there isn't any historical info of any kind. We spent less than 1 hr taking pictures and took the soonest bus back down. Is only worth it if you have... More

Visited late September 2008 - Eagle's Nest was a wonderful surprise. We went there on a day trip, it was a foggy and rainy morning on the express train from Munich. Seemed to be a bunch of hassle to get there... however, once the fog cleared - the views were definatley worth all of it. The best surprise adventure of... More

I was very excited to see the Eagle's Nest because I'm a but of a WWII buff, and after seeing Easy Company liberate Bertchesgaden and climb up to the Eagle's Nest, it was on the top of my list. The town was a little disappointing as all of the infrastructure from WWII was destroyed, but the Eagle's Nest was the... More

Possibly the best alpine views I've seen so far.. Impossibly high up its uncomprehendable the conditions the builders and haulers would have been in to create this place. although the history is a little unsavoury (nazi's, hitler etc) its a marvel that you must see.. It easy to access from Salzburg (we drove) the roads are narrow but easy to... More

I felt sorry for the people who took the overpriced bus to arrive at what is essentially an over-priced restaurant. There are a few token historical pictures but other than that it is, essentially, a tourist trap. The views are beautiful and the hike up is great (quite steep at times so you'll have sore quads!) but I would have... More

I'm sure there are many tours to Eagle's Nest. We did the one that combined the salt mine as well. We had a great time. The views are incredible from Eagle's Nest. It was fun shopping in the town of Berchtesgaden. Very memorable time. There were 2 popular websites for tours, viator.com and panoramatours.com More
