Private Eagle's Nest Tour - Hitler's Mountain Retreat in the Bavarian Alps
Every war constitutes a tragedy, bringing with it destruction and loss of life. War memorials should be preserved as enduring reminders to humanity of the errors of the past.
Berchtesgaden National Park, just a few miles southwest of Salzburg, is a stunning natural sanctuary that attracts visitors from around the world. This alpine gem boasts five major highlights: the centuries-old, still-operational salt mines; the crystal-clear waters of Lake Königssee; the imposing Watzmann, Germany’s second-highest peak; the charming town of Berchtesgaden; and the historically significant Eagle’s Nest.
The Eagle’s Nest (known in German as Kehlsteinhaus), one of the few surviving structures from the World War II era, was originally built as a retreat for Adolf Hitler. Today, it serves as a mountaintop restaurant and observation point, offering sweeping panoramic views of the Bavarian Alps.
During this tour, I will personally guide you through the rooms of this historic building. We’ll also embark on moderate hikes to the sites where once stood the residences of the most powerful figures of the Third Reich.
