There's a few options for you to choose from on this interesting trip to Berchtesgaden. Spend the day discovering the pretty Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden itself, or opt to go up to the Eagle's Nest (add-on payable locally).

The most famous is the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest). Explore the historic building and surrounding area, with spectacular views on a clear day over the King's Lake. The house is famous for being Nazi-constructed and was used for government and social meetings by Hitler and the Nazi Party (Eagle's Nest add-on is payable locally - approx. €31.90 per person).

If you decide to stay in Berchtesgaden rather than go to the Eagle's Nest, you could head underground to see the Salt Mines. A network of tunnels and slides take you on an underground adventure discovering this once very important industry (entry is approx. €25.50 per person).
