Tour Details

Our Eagles Nest walking holiday in Germany, is based in the wonderful region of Bavaria in South Germany around the great Lake Konigssee. High in the mountains overlooking the lake and famous peaks of the region is the Eagles Nest (Kehlsteinhaus); a mountaintop lodge built for Hitler’s 50th birthday. Nowadays it is a restaurant, which you can still visit and explore.

On this Eagles Nest Tour you will see the idyllic, mystic and singular; the blue-green Lake Königssee which is embedded into grand mountain scenery. The mountains are very high, but there are beautiful passes to the next valleys. To see the sun rising over the steep rocks of the Stony Sea is really worth the effort.

This Bavarian walking holiday starts in Berchtesgaden/Schönau a picturesque town near to the Austrian Border. If you love breathtaking scenery, then you will be blown away on this walking holiday.

Our Eagles Nest walking holiday is available as a level 3 self-guided tour.
