After breakfast and a mid-morning check-out, we'll load into vans and head down towards Munich and then east along the northern edge of the Alps, until we turn south and head through a mountain pass for Berchtesgaden.

We have a few things planned for our final two days here, but one is completely dependent upon weather: the Eagle's Nest. Due to its altitude, we will have to take full advantage of a lack of clouds. Whether that afternoon is clear or the following day is better, we'll build the rest of the schedule around this feature of the tour.

Other stops will include the hard-to-find remnants of Hitler's Berghof, which Easy occupied. We'll even take a bunker tour and get a feel for this memorable part of WWII history, discussing the tales and antics of Easy's well-earned rest at the end of a brutal world war.

There are other hidden military history gems, but equally important is this: it is the final two and a half days of the tour. We want you to relax and enjoy yourselves as much as possible.

There are some excellent outdoor hikes to enjoy, a boat trip on a pristine lake that is ringed by mountains, a salt mine tour, a great town with walking streets and charming shops, and a farewell lunch on our final day, at the restaurant of a first class chef, with a view like none other.
