Tour 3 - Excursion through the Bavarian Alps

In the Bavarian Alps above the Obersalzberg stands the former mountain residence of Hitler. It offers magnificent views across the snowcapped peaks of the surrounding mountains. Passing the Castle Hellbrunn, through Anif we arrive at the German border. Driving along the Königseeache, through the lovely valley and picturesque farmland to Unterau we start our ascent to the Obersalzberg. Here we stop to see what is left of Hitler's mountain compound and to enjoy the wonderful panorama (view of Hitler's Eagle's Nest). We then continue down the Königsee or Echo Lake, pressed among the steep mountain peaks. There is time for a stroll along the lake. On the way back we stop in Berchtesgaden. Again there is plenty of time for a look around the village and for refreshments.
