2-Day Berchtesgaden Escape – Alpine Beauty & WWII History
From Alpine Peaks to WWII History – A 2-Day Berchtesgaden Journey
Tucked away in the heart of the Bavarian Alps, Berchtesgaden is a destination where breathtaking natural beauty meets profound historical significance. From the crystal-clear waters of Lake Königssee to the dramatic history of the Obersalzberg, this 2-day, 1-night private journey from Munich offers a powerful and well-balanced experience.
Designed for travelers who want more than just scenery—or history alone—this tour blends iconic Alpine landscapes, meaningful WWII sites, and a luxurious overnight stay, all at a relaxed and thoughtfully paced rhythm.
Prices start from $2,150 per person, based on double occupancy in a 5-star hotel. Final pricing depends on group size—the larger your private group, the lower the price per person, as costs are shared across the group.
Single rooms and upgrades are available on request, and the itinerary can be customized to include additional nights, alternative pickup locations, or other Bavarian highlights.

Alpine Scenery & Bavarian Heritage
Your journey begins with a private pickup in Munich, followed by a scenic drive through the Bavarian Alps. Sit back and enjoy the changing landscapes as mountains rise, valleys open up, and the pace of life slows.
Your first highlight is Lake Königssee, one of Germany’s most spectacular natural wonders. Board an electric boat and glide across the emerald-green waters, surrounded by towering cliffs and untouched Alpine scenery. Along the way, experience the famous echo demonstration that makes this lake so unique.
After time at the lake, continue to Berchtesgaden for a traditional Bavarian lunch before heading underground for a guided visit to the Berchtesgaden Salt Mine. Discover a 500-year-old mining tradition, ride wooden slides, and sail across a subterranean salt lake.
In the late afternoon, check in to your 5-star Alpine hotel, where the evening is yours to relax. Enjoy the spa, dine at the hotel, or simply take in the mountain views as the day winds down.
WWII History & Mountain Views
After breakfast, the focus shifts to Berchtesgaden’s powerful history.
Depending on the season, you’ll visit either:
The Eagle’s Nest (summer), reached via historic mountain roads and elevator, offering sweeping Alpine views and historical insight, or
The Obersalzberg historic area (winter), including preserved bunkers and viewpoints set against snow-covered Alpine scenery.
You’ll also explore the Dokumentationszentrum Obersalzberg, providing essential context and a deeper understanding of the region’s role during WWII.
Before returning to Munich, enjoy a final lunch at a traditional Alpine restaurant. In the afternoon, begin the scenic drive back, arriving in Munich in the early evening.
