Berchtesgaden Origins: First mentioned in 1102, Berchtesgaden’s natural monuments and historic salt-mining rights shaped the region’s growth.
Lake Königssee Ferry: Board a ferry across Bavaria’s emerald lake to the pilgrimage church of St Bartholomä and soak in the breathtaking alpine scenery.
Eagle’s Nest Ascent: Take the vintage bus up Kehlstein road then ride the brass elevator through solid rock into Kehlsteinhaus, known in English as the Eagle’s Nest.
Kehlsteinhaus Visit: Enjoy impressive vistas, sample excellent cuisine and marvel at this unique fusion of historic architecture and high-alpine setting.
Please note: The Eagle’s Nest is open from May 9 to October 25 each year and involves staircases; no elevator access beyond the brass lift.
Don’t forget to pause lakeside at Königssee’s shore for the mountain reflections, then reflect on the region’s blend of natural beauty and historic intrigue as you return to Munich.
