5.Munich Lake Konigssee and Berchtesgaden Salt Mine Private Tour with Lake Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7 reviews · 8 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $1,440.70

Private Munich day trip to Berchtesgaden Salt Mine, Lake Königssee cruise, and Kehlsteinhaus, with scenic stops and door-to-door pickup.

“Busy day but with a very good organization. Fortunately, organized with Philip, at the foot of the accommodation, who knows this organization inside out and who has oiled all this machinery. This has a cost, but without it, the visits could not have taken place. We had also chosen not to visit the salt mines, and it was a good choice because we enjoyed the lake all morning with a very nice walk, then the Eagle's Nest where we spent the afternoon. It was a reasonable pace, as there is a lot of road to get to this place”
