Eagle's Nest Tours
Unfortunately, on the evening of October 23rd, the Eagle’s Nest suffered a terrible fire which began at ca. 10pm. The fire blazed through the night and throughout October 24th. It was finally declared fully extinguished at 10:35am on October 25th.
What happens next? Will the Eagle's Nest be rebuilt? Read an update here.
Due to an extensive fire in October 2026, the Eagle's Nest building will be completely inaccessible and therefore not a part of our historical tour programs throughout 2027.
However, the Eagle's Nest building is only one part of what is offered in our guided tours. As leading expert historical tour providers, we will continue to conduct our world renowned, in depth WWII historical tours of the Berchtesgaden area whilst the Eagle's Nest is being restored.
We are working hard to get our website updated with our new 2027 tour options and availability - it's a work in progress but we endeavour to complete this as soon as possible.
An Unforgettable Experience!
Many people visit Berchtesgaden and the Obersalzberg mountainside every year; mainly to visit the Eagle's Nest building to take in the stunning panoramic views - but few really delve into the compelling history of Hitler's former Obersalzberg mountain headquarters.
Whilst the Eagle's Nest is famous all over the world, particularly due to the incredible views that can be experienced from the building at the peak in good weather, the truth is that the real history took place on the Obersalzberg mountainside below...
We provide in-depth guided historical tours for those with a thirst for knowledge; those looking to gain more from their visit and immerse themselves in the fascinating history of the place Hitler chose to call home.
