The Eagle's Nest (1), a haunting relic of the Nazi era, perches atop the majestic Kehlstein Mountain in southern Germany.
Atop Kehlstein Mountain in southern Germany, a chilling reminder of history sits nestled amongst the clouds. The Eagle's Nest, built by the Nazis in 1939 as a symbol of their twisted ideology, now serves as an unsettling echo of a dark past.
Today, a restaurant occupies the space, offering breathtaking views to hikers. It's a strange juxtaposition - a place designed for world domination now serves as a place of peaceful reflection. While enjoying the scenery, it's impossible to ignore the weight of history that lingers.
We combined our visit to the Eagle's Nest with a trip to the charming city of Salzburg (2) in Austria. The journey, mostly through picturesque German towns, offered a beautiful contrast to the starkness of the Eagle's Nest.
Prepare for hair-raising turns and sheer drops along the winding road.
The stunning natural beauty of the surrounding area is the first thing you’ll notice.
Get ready to scramble up rocky paths!
Don't forget to soak up the local culture with some traditional folk music and, of course, a cold beer and hearty German meal.
