I’m not going to ponder long on the concentration camp, it is what it is. After going to Auschwitz and Birkenau in Poland, we knew what to expect. It is sad to know that there are these type of people in the world.

Berchtesgaden and the Eagle’s Nest

The impressive mountain scenery and the beautiful landscape of the Berchtesgadener Land will definitely fascinate you. Our tour will offer you the opportunity to pay a visit at the NS Documentation Center on Obersalzberg. A special bus and lift then take you up to the Kehlsteinhaus at an altitude of 1,834m where you will be rewarded with spectacular views.

Our guide will give a comprehensive summary of the historical events and answer any questions. Afterwards, we will have a short stop in the town of Berchtesgaden.

The return journey via the German alpine road shows you the impressive valleys of Bavaria. 

It was super foggy during our tour! You could barely see in front of you but I captured as many photos as I could and even took a few of signs so you would know what you are looking at 🙂 ! As you can tell it was also raining! But all in all we can say we have been there. Another check on Greg’s bucket list and another day devoted to WWII.
