Kehlsteinhaus
September 24, 2016 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
Kehlsteinhaus oder auch Eagles Nest genannt, war ein Geburtstagsgeschenk für Adolf Hitler. Heute ist das Haus ein Restaurant mit traumhafter Aussicht. Nur schon die Anreise,- mit Spezialbussen und einem Lift durch den Berg machen es sehr speziell.
Ein Ausflug der sich, auch wenn das Wetter nicht soooo toll war, gelohnt hat und den ich gerne wiederholen werde.Read more

Day 47
Eagle's Nest
October 12, 2017 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
After we finished our toboggan run, we took a short 15 minute drive to the car park at the base of Eagle's Nest. In a highly efficient operation (we are in Germany after all), we were on one of many specially designed buses which can manage the narrow road going up. Once we get up, you then walk through a 124 metre tunnel, to get in a brass lift to go up 124 metres, which pops you out right inside Kehlsteinhaus. It has been operated as a restaurant since the 1930s, with all proceeds from the leasing and tourism venture going to charity.

The views across the Alps are incredible. The sun terrace where many of the famous photographs of Hitler and Braun were taken is now simply a corridor to another part of the restaurant, with information panels and archival photographs in place. This is the only reference to the Nazi Party that we saw at the actual site.

We ate lunch out on the terrace with splendid views. I admit though I was surprised as I had more of an idea of it having a large grassed slope behind it, but perhaps I am just mixing up various archival footage in my mind.Read more
Traveler You could clearly see Salzburg from up here

Kehlsteinhaus
July 25, 2018 in Germany ⋅ 22 °C
Nach dem Mittag wollten wir noch Hoch hinaus. Nähmlich zum Kehlsteinhaus. Doch wir waren nicht die einzigen mit dieser Idee. 2h mussten wir unten am Lift warten. Nun, das lange Warten hatte sich gelohnt. Oben angekommen wird man mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht belohnt. Doch das Kehlsteinhaus hat eine unrühmliche Geschichte. Es wurde Hitler zum seinem 50. Geburtstag 1938 von der NSDAP geschenkt.Read more

Day 4
Ērgļa ligzda
September 18, 2018 in Germany ⋅ 19 °C
- Šodien visiem izņemot Mārtiņu manāms sagurums no vakardienas gājiena, bet tas nemazina šodienas ātrumu. Braucam uz Ērgļa ligzdu.
- Jābrauc pavisam netālu. Kādas 15min un esam klāt. Kalna lejā tiek atstāts busiņš. Augšā jābrauc ar sabiedrisko vai jāiet kājām. Mēs vismaz augšā ejam, lejā - pēc apstākļiem. Gājiens uz augšu ir relatīvi viegls. Vismaz konstanti labs grants/asfalta segums ir līdz pat augšai. Bet no iešanas tāpat visiem slapjas muguras paliekušas. Jāiet aptuveni 2h. Jebkurā gadījumā, salīdzinājumā ar vakardienu šis ir "easy peasy".
- Laiks arī šodien izcils. Ir daži mākoņi, bet tikai tik daudz, lai bildēs nedaudz vairāk krāsas toņi. Kad tiekam līdz augšējai stacijai nolemjam, ka lejā brauksim, kam arī uzreiz pie ieejas jānopērk biļete. Divatā ieeja ligzdā un buss lejā 23.4eur.
- Lai tiktu uz liftu, kas uzved augšā jāiet caur tuneli, kurā diezgan vēss, vismaz esot šortos un t-kreklā.
- Augšā paveras maksimāli pilna Bavārijas Alpu panorāma. Redzamas tuvas un tālas, sniegotas un klinšainas virsotnes. Laiks šāda objekta apmeklējumam nevar būt labāks. Kad vecāki šeit bija vairākus gadus atpakaļ, tad viņiem bija totāla migla un tālāk par degungalu neesot redzēts.
- Lai ilgāk uzsūktu šos skatus apēdīsim desertu/cafe virsotnes kafejnīcā. Vietu gan nav nemaz tik viegli atrast, bet pēc 15min mums tas izdodas. Es paņēmu standarta vācu bockwurst un alu. Kombinācija, ar kuru nekad Vācijā nevar kļūdīties. Madara pieturas pie cafe un kaut kādas kūciņas.
- Melnie lidojošie draudziņi ielenkuši kafejnīcu un izklaidē viesus.Read more

Day 4
Eagles Nest, Germany
May 27, 2013 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 2 °C
On our way home from Austria, we stopped at The Eagles Nest, a house given as a gift to Hitler for his 50th birthday, was purely incredible to visit. Why? Why is it so amazing. I often think this having lived in Germany and learn of the great torture they truly still hold close to their heart. The history is just incredible.The Eagles Nest was built for him as a 50th birthday present but Hitler had only been there about 14 times. The house that he resided in was closer to the bottom of the Mountain but had been torn down after the war.
Cars are not allowed to drive up the winding roads to the house, so we took an amazing tour with
Eagle’s Nest Historical Tours.
Civilians now reside in the white houses that once housed SS guards.
Once atop the mountain, we were escorted down a tunnel and into the elevator provided for Hitler made of gold and bronze. Once again, summer fell below and winter resided on top of the mountain. Completely covered with snow, overcast allowed for beautiful views but ice created some slippery conditions. Our time was cut short because the mountain had to close for the 5th time since opening just that month by a bad storm coming in that actually dropped an incredible amount of snow very quickly.

Hippie Tip:
Hike around the area, or even all the way up to the Eagles Nest.
Take your time in the Documentation Center, it's amazingRead more

Auf historischen Spuren
October 18, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Das Kehlsteinhaus -welch ein grandioser und geschichtlich doch so zwiespältiger Ort. Sollte auch nicht so einfach sein es zu erklimmen. Da lässt uns der Busfahrer am ZOB stehen, flugs die Obersalzbergbahn geentert und dann oben festgestellt, dass wir eine halbe Stunde zu weit rechts rausgekommen sind😀 also Beine in die Hand und ab durch den Wald um den gebuchten Kehlsteinshuttle zu erwischen. Freiheit und Abenteuer!
Die Fahrt über die Kehlsteinstrasse und im goldenen Fahrstuhl sorgen für gute Laune.Read more

Traveler Quite possibly. A lot of the furniture and information had been removed to a museum nearby which we didn't visit
