Description

The Eagle's Nest, built in 1939 in Berchtesgaden, served as the southern headquarters of the Nazi party. Gifted to Adolf Hitler for his 50th birthday, it was designed by Martin Bormann with precise stonework expressing fascist ideals.

Although Hitler visited only 14 times due to his fear of heights, the retreat symbolized Nazi power and was a site where important decisions were made. The building survived World War II undamaged, remaining in its original condition today.

Visitors can explore the site and enjoy expansive views of the surrounding Alps and countryside, reflecting on its historical significance.

This excursion also includes a scenic journey through the Austrian and Bavarian Alps, arriving at the serene Königssee Lake. Glide on an electric boat past towering rock faces such as Malerwinkel to St. Bartholomä peninsula, home to a pilgrimage church and traditional Bavarian architecture ideal for quiet reflection.
