The Eagle's Nest

The Eagle's Nest, or Kehlsteinhaus, is a mountaintop retreat built in 1938 near Berchtesgaden, Germany, as a gift for Adolf Hitler. Perched at 1,834 meters (6,017 feet), it offers stunning views of the Bavarian Alps. Originally designed for Adolf Hitler's personal use, it later became a military and tourist site. Today, it functions as a historical landmark and restaurant, attracting visitors interested in its architecture, history, and scenic surroundings. Its location and history make it a significant, though controversial, symbol of Nazi Germany’s era.
