Overview

Spectacular views, an idyllic, crystal clear mountain lake, and German history from the Middle Ages to the infamous Nazi rule during the 3rd Reich: all this and much more awaits you on this private full-day PANORAMA-Tour with your personal and professional guide. Starting with a drive that offers many scenic highlights, you will then be enchanted by the historic town of Berchtesgaden - finally the cruise across Lake Königssee to the renowned peninsula of St. Bartholomä will simply take your breath away!

Enjoy the view from the spectacular Eagle's Nest view point (Shuttle busses from May - Oct), then gain a deeper understanding of the tragic history of the Obersalzberg area.

Almost 1,000 m/ 3,200 ft above sea level, this plateau was confiscated by Hitler and his entourage as the 2nd seat of government. Some buildings from this period as well as the extensive bunker network are still partially preserved and open to the public – explore these and much more hidden vestiges from the '3rd Reich' together with your guide, supported by historical photographs.

On a nearby Panorama Road we reach in our comfortable and new VW-Minivan the highest point of our excursion, which is at the same time a 'Sound-of-Music' Film location. With these unforgettable impressions we return back to Munich.

Activity itinerary

Maria Ramersdorf Kirche (Pass by)

All the sights mentioned here are carefully selected recommendations. Additional requests can be taken into account within the scope of the possibilities. We are also happy to make suggestions for lunch, on this tour we recommend the restaurant on the Kehlsteinhaus. Now, however, you can look forward to an eventful, informative but also relaxing excursion in our luxurious Mercedes - and VW vans. At the side of your friendly and professional tour guide you are in the best hands from the very beginning! ...At the old pilgrimage church of St. Maria Ramersdorf from the 14th century we leave Munich and drive on the A8 in a south-easterly direction...

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".

Lake Chiemsee (Pass by)

A little later, after another magnificent view, we reach the largest lake in Bavaria, Lake Chiemsee. Germany’s first motorway service station was located on its shore, and its partially still visible building complexes were used by the US Army as a recreation center until 2003.

St. Bartholomew's Church

2h
Admission ticket not included

No road, not even a path, leads around the 8 km long Königssee, which is surrounded by high rock faces - even the popular destination on the west bank, 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 on a steep path. Experience the famous echo of Königssee on the impressive 35-minute cruise and marvel at the dreaded Watzmann East Face and a 'sleeping witch'! Prices Royal Sea Shipping (2026) : Adults : € 23.40 Children (6 - 17 years) : € 11.70

Konigssee

In the midst of beautiful alpine scenery and not far from the Königssee Ice bobsleigh track offers the popular pedestrian zone in the village of Königssee and on the waterfront inexpensive shopping and great photo opportunities.

Berchtesgaden

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.

The Eagle's Nest

2h
Admission ticket not included

The Kehlsteinhaus can be reached on a 15-minute drive with spectacular views by special buses from Obersalzberg. The building, perched in a spectacular location at more than 1,800 m above sea level, was built at the behest of Martin Bormann - including the 6.5 km long access road - in just 13 months under mostly the most difficult conditions for the workers. From the bus terminus, you can reach the original elevator through a 124-meter tunnel, which takes you to the Kehlsteinhaus, now operated as a restaurant, after another 124 meters. ***** SKIP-THE-LINE-Tickets (2026) - Bus trip incl. lift : Adults : € 34.70 Children (6 to 14 years) : € 17.20

Obersalzberg

The darkest chapter of Berchtesgaden's history took place on the Obersalzberg, a plateau at almost 1,000 m below the Kehlstein. Under Hitler and his entourage, it was declared a restricted area for leaders from 1933. On 25 April 1945, 1,300 bombs destroyed almost the entire area, sparing the Kehlsteinhaus, among others. In 1952, the ruins of most of the bombed buildings were demolished or blown up; some of them, such as the Hotel Türken, were rebuilt. Your guide will be happy to show you the remaining remains, supported by historical images.
