Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Eagle’s Nest – A Journey to the Past
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through the stunning Bavarian Alps as we make our way to Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), Adolf Hitler’s former mountain retreat. Perched at an altitude of 1,834 meters (6,017 feet), this historical site offers unparalleled panoramic views of the surrounding Alps. After a breathtaking bus ride up the mountain and an elevator journey through a tunnel carved into solid rock, you’ll arrive at the summit, where you can admire spectacular 360-degree views. Learn about the site's WWII history, explore its fascinating architecture, and soak in the awe-inspiring scenery.

Stop 2

Explore the Obersalzberg Documentation Center and its chilling **WWII-era bunkers**, where history comes to life beneath the mountain. Once a retreat turned Nazi command center, Obersalzberg housed
Hitler’s Berghof and military offices, now documented in a museum filled with artifacts, photos, and personal accounts. Beneath the ruins lies a network of fortified bunkers, built to shield officials from air raids. These cold, concrete tunnels once served as strategic meeting rooms and escape routes, reflecting the secrecy and paranoia of the time. Today, visitors can walk through these corridors, tracing history’s dark shadows.

Stop 3

Hallstatt – The Pearl of Austria
Leaving the rugged peaks of Bavaria behind, we continue to the enchanting village of Hallstatt, one of Austria’s most picturesque and historically rich destinations. Nestled between towering mountains and a serene lake, Hallstatt is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its charming old town, colorful houses, and stunning lakeside views.

Here, you’ll have free time to:

Stroll through the historic market square, lined with beautiful 16th-century buildings.
Visit the famous Hallstatt Skywalk, offering breathtaking views over the entire village and lake.
Walk along the scenic waterfront promenade, capturing postcard-perfect photos.
Discover the fascinating Bone House (Beinhaus), home to a unique collection of painted skulls.
Enjoy a relaxing meal at a local café while soaking in the mesmerizing alpine scenery.
