Eagle's Nest, Berchtesgaden and Ramsau with famous church and lake
Overview
Spend a day at the Eagle’s Nest, Berchtsgaden and visit the Ramsau Region with church and Lake Hintersee on this 8-hour private tour from Salzburg. Next to the historical Eagle's Nest the Ramsau region is another top sightseeing attraction in the Bavarian Alps.
From November to about May 10th (depends on the snow conditions of the year), the Eagle's Nest direct access road is closed, alternatively we offer to visit the Rossfeld summit instead. From this vantage point, soak in panoramic views of the stunning Austrian and Bavarian Alps and the nearby Eagle's Nest. Feel free to choose this option also when Eagle's Nest is opened if you prefer a much less crowded, more local site than the Eagle's Nest.
