Eagle's Nest

he road leading from the Obersalzberg (formerly Hitler's home and southern headquaters) to the Eagle's Nest parking lot is considered to be a feat of engineering. The Eagle's Nest remained unscathed from the bombing of the Allied Forces during WWII. Since 1952 is has been open to the public as a mountain top restaurant with a spectacular view and is accessed only by special mountain buses from Obersalzberg.

The "Obersalzberg Documentation Center" located next the car park at Obersalzberg offers interesting exhibits on the history of Obersalzberg, Hitler's regime and WWII.

The Watzmann East Face almost reaches a staggering 1800 metres. The lake itself is a good 190 metres deep. Lake Königsee is a unique experience at any time of the year.
