Great Trip!
Very good, informative trip. The museum was great and walking through the underground tunnel system was fascinating. Beware that if the weather is bad, you can’t go up to the Eagle’s Nest, which was a major disappointment, but not the tour company’s fault since they are focused on safety. They made up for it with extra time in Berchtesgaden, a beautiful medieval town.

Good tour and would recommend
I enjoyed this tour. The bus was clean and the driver was professional, however it would have been nice to have USB charge points. Bear in mind you will need cash to pay for the shuttle buses up to the eagles nest (32 euros each). Eagles nest was great but I felt we had too much time afterwards. This time would have been better utilised at Berchtesgaden.

Munich with friends
A bit of a long bus ride from Munich, about 2 hours. There is a toilet on the bus and an option to purchase beer on the bus. Use the toilet on the bus before getting off to go up to the Eagles Nest because there isn’t much time to waste before ascending to the summit to the Eagles Nest. Absolutely beautiful views at the top and a great restaurant at the top as well.

Perfect day!
It’s was a fabulous private tour
It was a beautiful day and our guide was very knowledgeable, she was from Salzburg. I knew everywhere for us to go and experience the area.
It was expensive, but we were very happy with our tour.

Eagles Nest Adventure
We had a great sunny day. Not sure I’d do it on a cloudy or foggy day. We also ditched the return trip and took a local bus to the Konigssee which was fantastic. Great day, wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable.

Eagles Nest and Berchtesgaden
This was a very well organised tour. Our guide Francina ?? was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable. To get up to the top of the mountain was worth all the travelling. The view was absolutely fantastic. So delighted we did it

How to get there
When to visit
Wear sun protection and dress in layers, as the weather changes quickly at the high altitude of the Eagle’s Nest.
For a Documentation Centre visit, plan to stay for two hours to include the permanent exhibition and a bunker tour.
For an Eagle’s Nest visit, plan to stay for at least two hours to enjoy both the food and views.
Tickets for the Documentation Centre and Eagle’s Nest transport can be bought in advance online. However, it’s best to buy the Eagle’s Nest transport tickets on-site, so you can skip it if it’s a cloudy, view-obscured day.
Children can enter the Documentation Center, although some exhibits are aimed at an audience over 14 years, covering themes of persecution and war crimes.
There is limited parking for visitors with reduced mobility in the P2 parking lot at the Documentation Centre.
All indoor areas at the Documentation Centre are wheelchair accessible with several ramps and elevators. Note that some bunker passageways are narrow, and wider electric wheelchairs might not fit.
People Also Ask
When can the Eagle’s Nest be visited?
The Eagle’s Nest is only open in the warmer months—usually from mid-May through October—as it sits high up a rocky mountain pass and the road must be free of snow and loose stones to safely pass. Note: The site today is a restaurant, and no reservation is needed.
Is there parking at the Eagle's Nest?
The Eagle’s Nest mountain restaurant has no parking, as it’s only reachable via the elevator and special bus that can take on the road’s 27 percent incline. The nearest parking option is the Hintereck parking area at Obersalzberg (fee required) with an Eagle’s Nest bus stop. You can also do a 2- to 3-hour hike from the lot.
Do you need to book Eagle's Nest tours in advance?
You can visit the site without a tour and Eagle’s Nest tickets are available at the entrance, but the restaurant and Documentation Center feature high on many visitors’ lists of German historical landmarks, so tours tend to sell out quickly. If you want to take a tour in the summer, book in advance to secure your preferred date.
What do you see on an Eagle's Nest tour?
Most tours cover the shuttle bus from Obersalzberg, the mountain elevator, and free time at the Eagle’s Nest—which today is a panoramic mountain restaurant that offers views of the Bavarian Alps. History-focused tours might include visits to the Documentation Center Obersalzberg where exhibits about the Eagle’s Nest during World War II and underground bunkers can be seen.
How long does it take to tour the Eagle's Nest?
To visit both the Documentation Center Obersalzberg and Eagle's Nest mountain restaurant, set aside a full day. This allows you to browse historical exhibits, travel up the mountain, and enjoy lunch with panoramic views. Many organized tours cover both in half a day, with time to visit Lake Königssee afterward.
Can I eat or drink something at the Eagle’s Nest?
Yes. The mountaintop chalet operates as a restaurant, with little in the way of World War II artifacts. Visit it for lunch—the kitchen is open from morning until late afternoon—or a drink while soaking up the views. Menus are available to see online on the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus) official website.
