Transportation: Not Your Average Tour Bius
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Bus
    Getting TO/AROUND: The buses which transport you up the Kehlstein mountain road are not your average tour bus but this is not your average road either. The road which climbs up 6.5 km.was opened to bus traffic in 1952 After your coach arrives at the Hintereck parking lot you then join the many tourists for the journey up the mountain road. The Regional traffic in Upper Bavaria (RVO) company use powerful Mercedes Benz buses which they run for only five years - these are re-deployed on other routes and new buses purchased all in the interest of safety. At the height of the summer season - when we were here, six buses leave in convoy from the bottom at the same time as six leave from the top - an exact worked out system which operates like clockwork. I was impressed with their system - ha ha - so typically efficient. The buses run from mid May through to October but you can walk up this will take around two hours of your time and a lot of breath.

     Excellent photo of the Eagle's nest. The views from up there must have been amazing. Sorry the tour was not the best.

     This page brings back memories, both good and not so good ones. I love hiking in this area, but I didn't like having to repair our car with a wired coat hanger at the parking lot of Kehlsteinhaus.

     Oh I can't believe that I missed this part of your summer trip! I was in the salt mines but not up at the house - I should go one day. Ahh, yes, Joan, you and Kenny should come back very soon :-))

     What incredible views from the Eagle's Nest. Love the detail and colour on some of the buildings.
