Best Eagle S Nest Day Trips & Things to Do

Also known as Kehlsteinhaus in German, this breathtaking chalet retreat sits 6,017 feet above sea level atop Hoher Göll in the Berchtesgaden Alps. Eagle's Nest was completed in 1938 as a present to Nazi ruler Adolf Hitler for his 50th birthday. No expense was spared to build this spectacular structure! Though the Allied Forces took Berchtesgaden during World War II, Eagle's Nest was not damaged during the raids. It was owned by the U.S. Military after the war and then ultimately return to Germany. Eagle's Nest today is a popular tourist destination and contains a exceptional Bavarian restaurant with unforgettable views. Show All
