Pass by without stopping
Fortress Hohenwerfen
Castle of Werfen is one of the most magnificent mountain fortifications in the Alps and was also used in the “Where Eagle’s Dare” movie with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood. It was the castle of Werfen which was used as Eagle’s Nest, not the original location at the Bavarian Alps. Marvel at the birds of prey show of the historic state falconers, where you can see mainly native birds of prey in free flight!
120 minutes here · Admission not included
Berchtesgaden
Arrive in the charming Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden, where you will have time to relax and enjoy a traditional Bavarian lunch (own expense). Stroll through the historic center, discover local shops, or simply soak in the alpine atmosphere before continuing your journey to the Obersalzberg and the Eagle’s Nest.
90 minutes here
The Obersalzberg is one of the most historically significant locations in the Bavarian Alps, once serving as a key secondary headquarters of the Nazi regime. During your stop, your guide will point out the former Berghof site, Hitler’s mountain residence, and explain the historical importance of this area within its alpine setting. Today, the Obersalzberg offers a striking contrast between its peaceful mountain scenery and its complex past.
30 minutes here
Kehlsteinhaus
From the Obersalzberg you will access the Eagle's Nest with special busses and elevator. You will have 2 hours at the Eagle's Nest. Take a stroll to the very close summit Kehlstein to overlook the picturesque Bavarian and Austrian Alps. From November 1st, until about May 10th, (depends on the snow conditions of the year), the Eagle's Nest direct access road is closed alternatively, we offer to visit the Rossfeld summit instead. From this vantage point, soak in panoramic views of the stunning Austrian and Bavarian Alps and the nearby Eagle's Nest. Feel free to choose this option also when Eagle's Nest is opened if you prefer a much less crowded, more local site than the Eagle's Nest.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Eagle's Nest and 'The Where Eagles Dare Castle' of Werfen: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salzburg.
How much does Eagle's Nest and 'The Where Eagles Dare Castle' of Werfen cost?
+
Prices start at $122 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salzburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Eagle's Nest and 'The Where Eagles Dare Castle' of Werfen take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salzburg is not rushed.
Is Eagle's Nest and 'The Where Eagles Dare Castle' of Werfen worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 33 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salzburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Eagle's Nest and 'The Where Eagles Dare Castle' of Werfen?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Eagle's Nest and 'The Where Eagles Dare Castle' of Werfen suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Eagle's Nest and 'The Where Eagles Dare Castle' of Werfen?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salzburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salzburg and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Eagle's Nest and 'The Where Eagles Dare Castle' of Werfen start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salzburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Salzburg?
+
On Outty we rank every Salzburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Austrian Apple Strudel Cooking Class including Lunch in Salzburg, Salzburg: Palace Concert at the Marble Hall of Mirabell Palace, The Original Sound of Music Tour in Salzburg. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Salzburg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Salzburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
