Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest)

Highlight • Historical Site

You have to see it once, but once is enough. It's crazy what crowds of people are brought up there on buses. 😱
Otherwise, of course, a great view of the Alps, especially the Watzmann and the Königssee 🤩

Yes, it started in Berchtesgaden with changing the brake pads on Kati's bike 🚵‍♀️, we want to go to the Kehlsteinhaus and back down safely 😉.

Some of the climbs are very tough (especially immediately after Berchtesgaden) and the Kehlstein is a tourist gem with huge numbers of tourists. Until then, however, you are mostly alone - with the exception of the tarred driveway. The distant views even extend …
