Good tour guide and we'll organized. Weather was cloudy so the view was not good (not tour fault) but the history and experience was worth it. I would do again. Only criticism would be the tour waits to long for late people. I guess feel like they have to do this but holding up everyone in the group for 2 or 3 inconsiderate people seems inconsiderate to the majority that want to stay on schedule.

This is a must do when you are in Bavaria! The views on the way up and at the top are spectacular! Shuttle buses take you to the entrance to the tunnel where an elevator takes you 400 feet up to the top - except the day our tour group was there it was not working so we walked up switch back paved roads because we knew if we didn’t we’d regret it ! It was so worth it -plus beer and pretzels were our reward! Walk all the way up and you will see the alps!

If you can get past the fact that you are in the same place one of the most evil people who ever lived made his summer home, it is worth it for the absolutely breathtaking views from the mountaintop. If you are able to go walking around the mountain and not stay inside the building, definitely do so. Everything is so beautiful.

We hiked up from the centre of Berchtesgaden. We were the only two to do this on the day we went up. It’s a very challenging hike requiring navigations skills and a high level of fitness. If you don’t have either of these then catch the bus like all the sane people !! Well worth the hike. Wouldn’t have done it any other way. The summit itself is just a restaurant and in many ways a little disappointing. The beer and strudel tasted very good though. One way on the bus cost €24 each. Expensive but we had walked 13 miles already

We were fortunate to visit on a beautiful day with breathtaking 360 views. More than just a restaurant and terrace, there are many trails that can be explored too so would recommend arriving early to make the most of the time. Make sure you double check the time of the last bus back to Berchtesgaden, we missed it and the walk down was really uncomfortable.

Fairly easy to get to. We went by car to the bottom station however there was a frequent bus service from Salzburg. Great views from the top of two valleys. We ate at the restaurant which was great value and fresh and tasty.

Took a trip here for the day. You have to drive from the village below on some very tight and bendy roads. Parking is free once you get to the beginning of the tour. Walk to the ticket office by the buses and they will give you a times ticket to get to the eagles nest. You cannot drive up there yourself. They proudly announce that the buses are electric and drivers take you to the car park below the house itself. After departing the bus you walk through the tunnel and take the lift to the top. I think the mirrors in the lift are original and there's used to be velvet seating on the inside of the lift. At the top you can walk round what is left of the house and see the magnificent views of the valley. For the hiking enthusiasts you can walk to the top but it is a steep hike. There is a display about the building and outside you can walk up to a monument which overlooks the house itself. Inside, there is a famous fireplace donated by Mussolini and what is the restaurant used to be the famous conference room. There is a crossed pine ceiling but I don't know if this is original as Hitler used to like his pine. There are not many objects to view and Hitler did not often stay here as he preferred his own house down the road. However, he did visit here and on a clear day the views from the top are magnificent. After looking round you can get the lift back to the car park and drive back to the town. On a clear day, it is a wonderful place to visit although it is not cheap.

Simply spectacular view! You must go here for the view alone it is really amazing! I also recommend the document center. I could have spent hours up here enjoying the view. Don't go on a day that is too cloudy.

Not cheap, and finding the ticket office from the car park was not easy. It’s quite regimented in the way it works, which quite made me laugh given who built it. The views from the top are well worth it. I found the whole place rather conflicting. To have a beer where such evil deeds were masterminded feels wierd, and it just goes to show what a complicated thing ‘legacies’ really are.

Absolutely recommend visiting, especially if you enjoy signtseeing & hiking. Leave 2-3 hours for this. Tip: Eagle's nest closes quite early each day, by 4pm, we went there right after exploring Lake Konigssee. Bus ride from the tickets centre takes some time, we got discounts from our Berchtesgaden air BNB stay, 10% off. If you're up for it, once you get off the bus, you can hike up to the top of the eagle's nest, or if you're not feeling it, you can take the lift like the majority do. Got some wines & beers at the top restaurant, totally worth the exprience in my opinion.
