"A Visit to Eagle's Nest" - Kermie Cam

July 3rd, 2014...

This date on my recent trip to Europe, I went to visit Adolf Hitler's Eagle's Nest.

It was built before WWII started, and was used for conferences and visiting dignitaries like Chamberlain and Mussolini.

Hitler was claustrophobic and afraid of heights, so he only actually visited it 14 times! He had a nice home below, which he preferred.

This was the only building not destroyed that Hitler used and is now a tourist site and restaurant!

Once you climb by bus up to about 6000' . . . you then head down a tunnel about 400' to get on an elevator that then takes you straight up about 450' into the facility!

While the facility was historically interesting . . . the view from the Bavarian Alps was absolutely BREATHTAKING!

After the tour, we went down and had lunch and a nice walk around Berchtesgaden.

This has to be one of the most beautiful parts of the world I've seen!
