The Eagle’s Nest is located above Berchtesgaden. I'ts history is inseparably linked to that of the Obersalzberg. Between 1933 and 1945, it was the second most important center of power of the Nazi dictatorship, after Berlin, where decisions were made about persecution, war, and genocide. Built in 1937/38, the Tea House was intended to serve as place of political representation, away from public view, and leave guests awestruck. After the bus ride up a steep mountain road, a passageway leads through a tunnel to an elevator which then carries guests up about 400 ft directly into the Tea House. There, you are greeted by a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountain ranges. It has a dark past of Naza crimes.
