Berchtesgaden Sights

  1. Eagle's Nest

    Famous as Hitler's mountaintop eyrie - though he rarely used it himself - the Eagle's Nest (Kehlsteinhaus) is perched in one of Germany's most breathtaking locations, truly offering a bird's-eye view. Ride in a luxurious brass elevator to the spectacular lodge and restaurant at 1834m - provided you don't suffer vertigo as Hitler supposedly did!

  2. Salzbergwerk

    Don a protective suit, slide into glowing grottoes deep below the earth's surface and raft across a subterranean lake - no, it's not a theme park but Berchtesgaden's 500-year-old salt mine. The 90-minute mine tour is more fun than it sounds.
