Hitler’s Eagles Nest

As a 50th birthday gift for the chancellor, the Eagle’s Nest sits atop a mountain in Obersalzberg with an exquisite view. Although in a famous area for the Nazi party, Hitler barely visited the Eagle’s Nest and preferred to spend his time in the larger Berghof.

Munich

Hitler’s Bunker

Located underneath a hotel in Obersalzberg, the German bunkers are a rare sight for tourists. It is the closest bunker that leads to Hitler’s bunker under his frequented Berghof home.
