The Eagle's Nest or Kehlsteinhaus was built in 1937-1938 as a gift for Hitler's 50th birthday. The building is an architectural masterpiece with fantastic views, rising on a narrow rocky ridge at an altitude of 1,834 metres in the middle of the Bavarian Alps near the Alpine town of Berchtesgaden. A visit to the Eagle's Nest is fascinating, your private English-speaking driver will take you to the car park, where a local bus will take you along a steep 6.5km long path carved into the rock. In 15 minutes you'll climb 700 metres. But that's not all. When you reach the upper car park, you'll have to walk through a marble-lined tunnel and then take a luxurious period lift up another 124 metres. There, you'll find not only the interior of the once-famous villa, but also the restaurant and, of course, stunning panoramic views of the Alps.
When you've had enough of the Eagle's Nest and the beauty of the Alps, a comfortable private transfer awaits you to the next gem. The imposing Hohensalzburg Fortress is the largest surviving fortress in Central Europe and offers breathtaking 360° panoramic views. It was originally built as a defensive fortress in 1077 by Archbishop Gebhards and is located on top of the Festungsberg hill. It still occupies a dominant position here today and looks down on the city of Slazburg as its eternal guardian. Inside the castle there are several museum exhibitions. On the third floor are the original Rooms, which include the Prince's Hall, the Golden Chamber and the Golden Hall. The furnishings of these rooms are original and have remained unchanged since 1501/1502.
