Irschenberg
Pass by
Soon we reach the 'Mount Irschenberg', the most beautiful view point that you can have from a German motorway.
This Motorway route was built in the mid-1930s as a "panoramic motorway". These today unusual routings were part of the National Socialist propaganda: the beauty of the landscape was abused by deliberately staging "German Homeland".
-
Chiemsee
Pass by
A little later, after another magnificent view, we reach the largest lake in Bavaria, lake Chiemsee. On its shore was Germany's first highway rest stop, whose partially still visible buildings were used by the US Army as a recreation center until 2003 after the war.

2h · Admission ticket not included
No road, not even a path, goes around the 8 km/5 mile-long Königssee, which is surrounded by high rock walls – even the popular destination on the west shore, the peninsula with the famous pilgrimage chapel of St. Bartholomä and the former hunting lodge with its idyllic beer garden, can only be reached by boat or via a steep trail.
Experience the famous echo of lake Königssee on the impressive 35-minute boat trip and marvel at the longest continuous rock wall of the Eastern Alps, the feared 'Watzmann Ostwand', and a 'sleeping witch'!
***** Königssee Boat Trip SKIP-THE-LINE Tickets including approx. 40 minutes stopover on the peninsula (2026):
Adults: €23.40
Children (6 - 17 years): €11.70

Kehlsteinhaus
15m
On the night of October 24, 2026 the Eagle's Nest burned down to its outer walls due to suspected arson! It cannot be visited until the planned reconstruction, and also the Eagle's Nest shuttle bus line will be out of service until then.
On this tour, however, you still have the opportunity to get very close to the Eagle's Nest: Given suitable weather, we travel along a panoramic road that reaches an altitude of 1,600 meters (5,250 ft.) and runs along the mountain opposite the Eagle's Nest—offering spectacular views of the remains of the building.
In addition, in the Obersalzberg documentation, you'll get extensive information about the entire area, including the history of the Eagle's Nest.
If you want to enjoy similarly spectacular views, we can take you to a nearby cable car, which even gets you up to 6,000 ft.
The Eagle's Nest (in German: "Kehlsteinhaus") perched in a spectacular location at over 1,800 meters (6.000 ft), was constructed on the orders of Martin Bormann—including the 6.5 km access road—in just 13 months, under mostly extremely tough conditions for the workers. The building was a prestige project of the Nazi government.

The darkest chapter of Berchtesgaden's history took place on the Obersalzberg, a plateau at almost 1,000 meters between Berchtesgaden and the Eagle's Nest. Under Hitler and his entourage, it was declared a restricted area from 1933 onwards. On April 25, 1945, 1,300 bombs destroyed almost the entire site, with only a few places spared, including the Eagle's Nest and Albert Speer's villa and studio. In 1952, the ruins of most of the bombed buildings were removed or demolished; some of them, like the Hotel Türken, were rebuilt.
Your guide, supported by historical images, will show you the remains.

Berchtesgaden
25m
First mentioned in a document at the beginning of the 12th century, the former monastery foundation 'Berthercatmen' experienced an economic upswing thanks to the free mining on salt and metal.
Today, the market town embedded in the overwhelming Berchtesgaden Alpine world is rightly one of the most popular holiday regions in Germany due to its abundance of sights!
Enjoy the the traffic-restricted historic town center with its delightfully painted houses and numerous shopping opportunities. The local brewery "Hofbrauhaus Berchtesgaden" is an ideal place to take a break.
You will also see the surprisingly huge central station (opened on 1 February 1940) and the tunnel portal of the planned new railway line to Salzburg. Also from this unspeakable period come the "Little Reich Chancellery", as well as the residences of Wilhelm Keitel and Alfred Jodl.

Berchtesgaden Salt Mines
1h 30m · Admission ticket not included

Learn from your miner guide how "white gold" has been mined here since 1517 – a fascinating experience for both young and old! We recommend sturdy footwear and plenty of warm clothing (upon check-in, you will receive a mandatory protective suit for free).
