Das Kehlsteinhaus aka The Eagles Nest
10. august 2016, Tyskland ⋅ 🌧 6 °C
For our Summertrip 2016 we first went to the famous "The Eagles Nest" im Obersalzber. We drove with a bus on top of the mountain to the Eagles nest, which was Hitlers vacation home.
Being there we walked though the House and ate at the now Restaurant for German food.
Despite a lot of tourists the food was really good! The server was super friendly and all in one a great stay!
Back down the mountain we went to the museum where in 1939 stood Hitlers privat home the Obersalzberg (which the us Army bombed to dust in the late 1945 and the are was still theres till 1995) it was a great history lesson. The only minus point that they are getting from us is the lack of english translations at the museum. Besides that it is well made!Læs mere

Garmisch-Partenkirchen

The next Day we drove to Garmisch- Partenkirchen a town I never had a desire to visit BUT its so worth it!
The Atlas Sports Hotel on the other hand was not the best and I would never stay there again, the rooms where ok and the bathroom was really nice but the bed was terrible and broke. Same with the whole area the Hotel was at, not taking care of.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen has a great Wafflehouse which I can recommend from my heart <3
it was the best breakfast we had so far!
Address: Marienpl. 10, 82467 Garmisch-Partenkirchen
After eating there we wen to the Big Ski-Jump Tower which was used at the Winter Olympics 1936, they remodel it multiple times but it still looks crazy impressive.
From there we drove to the Partnachklamm (which is a gorge.The gorge, which acts as a natural conduit for the Partnach River, runs 700 meters or 2,305 feet between limestone walls that reach 80 meters (262 feet) high. A series of galleries and tunnels has been carved out of the rock along one side, allowing visitors to walk along the rushing river and duck behind waterfalls.)
It was amazing!!! We loved it so much!! We even hiked over the klamm.
That evening we went out to eat at Zum Wildschütz
Address Bankgasse 9, 82467 Garmisch-Partenkirchen
The food was the best real German food and so yummy!
We had a great day!!
On our last day we went to the tiny museum downtown Garmisch....it was soon cute I really enjoyed it a lot!Læs mere

Zugspitze

The day at the Zugspitz!

The Zugspitz 2,962 m (9,718 ft) above sea level, is the highest peak of the Wetterstein Mountains as well as the highest mountain in Germany with glacier. It was kinda tricky to find the parking spot for the gondola at the mountain side of Germany. Yes, we followed the signs, but somehow we couldn't see it. Finally, there we took the gondola up the mountain, which was super pricey, and we later found out it would have been cheaper on the Austrian side. The gondola ride was ok.....and finally on top it was just amazing! Like being on top of the world!

I have to admit the German side wasn't as pretty as the Austrian side, but that was in part due to the construction that was being done on the German side. The Austrian side was much more beautiful, and even the restaurant where we ate some sausages was so pretty but expensive! At the Austrian side, we went to a little museum on the mountain, and we saw ice crystals very close.

After all that we went with a different gondola down to the glacier which was crazy to look at. The mountain itself is so beautiful! You also have to see the little church at the glacier side which is to die for. We also saw what the climate change has done to the glacier and it almost broke my heart. A lot has melted already, and they try to cover the rest up so the sun won't eat it. It’s hard to look at.

All in all, it’s a really breathtaking experience, and everyone should get the chance to go there before it's too late, and the glacier will be gone for good.Læs mere
