Private Ride to Eagles Nest
Your day begins in the quietly atmospheric hamlet of Obersalzberg, a place whose tranquil alpine beauty belies its turbulent past.

History
Once an exclusive retreat commandeered by the leaders of the Third Reich, including Hitler, Göring, and Bormann, this secluded enclave offers a rare glimpse into a shadowed chapter of European history.
From here, your private transfer winds along the remarkable 6.5km road to the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), an ascent as dramatic as the stories that surround it. This is not simply a drive, but a journey into the clouds, each turn unveiling ever more breathtaking views of the Bavarian Alps. At the summit car park, a 124-meter tunnel hewn directly into the mountain leads you to a brass-panelled lift, which whisks you vertically through solid rock to emerge into the heart of the Eagle’s Nest itself.
Originally commissioned by Martin Bormann as a 50th birthday gift for Hitler, the Eagle’s Nest remarkably survived Allied bombing intact. Today, it remains almost exactly as it was, a hauntingly preserved time capsule that allows you to stand where world-shaping decisions were once made. On the sunlit terrace, original information panels and archival photographs offer a deeper understanding of the site’s significance, set against the serene grandeur of the surrounding mountains.
And then there is the view, a sweeping 360-degree panorama stretching across jagged peaks, verdant valleys, and shimmering lakes, the air crisp and impossibly pure. Standing here, high above the world, you cannot help but feel both the weight of history and the rare privilege of this vantage point.
This is more than a visit; it is a moment suspended between past and present, an experience available to only a fortunate few, where history, beauty, and exclusivity converge.
