Ah home sweet home, my country still looking beautiful as ever. Ich liebe dich, Bayern!

Riding on those buses with all those screaming tourists would be Bormann must be spinning like a top.

The Eagle's Nest wasn't Hitler's summer residence, and neither was it the location of his meeting with Neville Chamberlain. That was The Berghof which has since been destroyed, but was located not far from there, just down the mountain a little.

Absolutely Amazing. My Grandfather was There In 1945. During the end of the War. I have all his Pictures. I so wish to visit Eagles Nest one day ❤️✅🍺

1:12 I love that the guy says can't get up there unless it's on a big bus and you can't do it in your car I bed to differ sir

Note a few errors in the video: Hitler only visited this place on a few occasions, he disliked how secluded and claustrophobic it was and felt he could be cornered by the Allies. He spent most of his time in this area near the base of the mountain at his summer residence the Berghof, where he also entertained heads of state.

I was there in September 2000. What a view, Amazing!

I visited this place in 1993 while stationed in Germany. Beautiful scenery.

Hitler actually hated this place. He was extremely claustrophobic. They had to back his car into the tunnel while he imagined he was somewhere else. The reason the elevator has reflective walls was to help him deal with the tight space. It's sad that some tourists don't respect the locals that are dining there.

'there's no way you can drive here in a car" -Pulls up into a car park full of cars.

Went and visited a few years ago, it was shrouded in fog but still unforgettable. Back down into Berchtesgaden and the fog had disappeared! Didn't know at the time that Adolf's half-sister is buried in the town's cemetery!

i was there with my father and mother in the 1960 dad was in the RAF in germany lovely place with lovely people

[hughjassol]

His underground bunker it the cliff, is where he spent one third of his time as Chancellor. He only visited this particular building 7-14 times

[tessaleroux]

I went there in 1999 and it was so foggy so I really hope in Beginning of August I will be lucky to be able to see the most beautiful scenery ever. Can’t wait

If you want to avoid the masses but still have comparable views, drive along the nearby B999 Panorama road, toll is just 8 Euro but you get tremendous sights across both the Austrian and Bavarian sides. There are numerous rest stops, benches, and a toilet & kiosk. You can also see the Kehlsteinhaus from afar, unfortunately the view of the Königsee is blocked. But you can go on a baot tour of that separetly (be sure to do the full hike around Obersee to the waterfall too).

[j.badinter]

Hitler went up there 7 times. Main reasons: he could not get the sun on his eyes, light was too intense and he felt trapped being on top if the elevator was broken or failure of generator. Actually the elevator broke for 3 hours when Hitler was there in July 1940 and he said he will never be back, but yet he did for 3 more times.

[tray-oqnj]

I was there in 1993, such a beautiful place. I hope to take my Bonnie someday soon.

[mqbitsko]

A suck-up gift to Hitler from Martin Borman. Hitler had little interest in it, and was not known to spend much time there. The most frequent visitor was Eva Braun, who would escape to the Eagle's Nest to get away from the stress of her virtual captivity.

[frank]

Why is this place still standing can you imagine all those despicable decisions made there!

[glenrichards]

Absolutely amazing, great video, now I want to go, from Australia
