Your day, hour by hour
- 08:15Your driver picks you up. Bring passports or ID cards – Berchtesgaden is in Germany.
- about 40 min
- 08:55Obersalzberg. The road to the top is closed to private cars, so from here the special bus (15 min), a tunnel and the brass lift take you up to the Kehlsteinhaus. Book the bus online. Allow about 2 hours; the return time can be changed at the terminal.
- 11:00Optional: the Dokumentation Obersalzberg history centre next to the car park (short route about 40 minutes).
- about 10 min
- 11:50Königssee: the electric boat to St. Bartholomä (about 35 minutes each way) and lunch at the inn beside the pilgrimage church.
- 14:50Back at the landing; if you like, 20 minutes' walk to the Malerwinkel viewpoint.
- about 45 min
- 15:45Back at your hotel.
The final price depends on the actual time from pickup to drop-off. Stay longer, leave earlier or change the itinerary whenever you like.

Good to know
- •Bring passports or ID cards for everyone.
- •The Kehlsteinhaus was built for Hitler; today it is a mountain restaurant, and the Dokumentation tells the history.
- •The Eagle's Nest bus runs only in good conditions; if the top is in cloud, Ronald suggests switching the order or the day.
- •Königssee boats queue in high summer; going out before the afternoon rush helps.
