This rather unorthodox “present” was given to Hitler on his 50th birthday by the Nazi Party. Designed by Martin Bormann, Hitler’s private secretary, who was second only to Hitler himself in terms of political power, it still stands in its original condition. Although considered an architectural masterpiece — the building is perched on a sheer rock face while the access road was cut into previously impassable terrain — it has been preserved as a reminder of the inhumane crimes that were planned there. Created to impress, the “summit of power” at the top can only be reached by the brass elevator buried in the heart of the mountain. The views from the top over Berchtesgaden, Salzburg, and the Konisee River have to be seen to be believed. The Eagles Nest is a historic symbol of insanity that even with its stunning location, today stands as a forceful reminder of one man’s crimes against humanity. A bus will bring you from the parking lot up to the Eagle's Nest. We recommend booking tickets in advance at https://kehlsteinhaus.axess.shop/de/ProductsNgTicket/TicketPredateableMobile?poolNr=1&projNr=388&ticketTypeNr=1&groupId=1&Month=6&Year=2023 Due to its high elevation the Eagle's Nest is only open in summer, usually from about mid-May through October.

Loved by travelers from around the world, there are few places in the world more charming than Schonau am Konigssee. A visit to the lake where the water is so clean you can drink it is an essential part of any trip to the region. Three huge mountains surround the crystal-clear waters and where the gushing waterfalls and the green slopes provide a stark contrast to the barren mountains. A trip on one of the boats that glide silently across the Fjord-like waters provides the opportunity to witness the serenity of the Alps. Listen while a flugelhorn is blown amid the incomparable calmness of the lake and be prepared to be astounded by the echo as it makes its way around the mountains. Then you’ll understand why so many people consider Schonau am Konigssee to truly be a place like no other. If you plan on enjoying the boat ride, we suggest increasing your stop time to 3 hours.

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

Great transfer option.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

It was a fantastic trip.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Excellent experience in traveling

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Excellent service

We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.

Excellent service

Know more about your day trip

The Eagle's Nest (Kehlsteinhaus) was a mountaintop retreat gifted to Adolf Hitler for his 50th birthday. Perched at 6,017 feet, it served as a reception venue for government officials and visiting dignitaries rather than Hitler's regular residence. Today, it's a restaurant and historical site offering panoramic Alpine views. Its significance comes from its connection to Third Reich history and its remarkable engineering.
Access to Eagle's Nest involves a special bus ride up a steep mountain road to a brass elevator embedded in the mountain that ascends the final 124 meters. Your Daytrip driver will take you to the Documentation Center, where you catch this specialized transportation. The Eagle's Nest is typically open from mid-May to mid-October, weather permitting.
Königssee is an emerald-green alpine lake surrounded by steep mountain walls. The main attraction is a boat ride to St. Bartholomä, a picturesque church with distinctive red onion domes. While boat tickets aren't included in your Daytrip price, your driver will assist with purchasing them. The boat ride features a stop where a trumpet player demonstrates the lake's famous echo.
This trip is seasonal. Eagle's Nest is only accessible from mid-May to mid-October due to snow conditions. During winter months (November-April), alternative attractions include the Documentation Center Obersalzberg, Hitler's former Berghof site, and the Königssee (although boat service is limited). Winter visits offer stunning snow-covered landscapes but require appropriate cold-weather clothing.
The Obersalzberg area below Eagle's Nest housed Hitler's Berghof residence and Nazi government buildings. While most structures were bombed or later demolished, the Documentation Center Obersalzberg museum explains this history with photographs and exhibits. Some bunker systems are accessible..
This trip involves moderate walking. At Eagle's Nest, after the bus and elevator, paths around the summit require some walking on uneven terrain. At Königssee, walking from the parking area to the boat dock takes about 10 minutes. The St. Bartholomä area is relatively flat. Those with mobility concerns should note that historical sites may have limited accessibility accommodations.
