Germany Trip 2007 - Berchtesgaden
Return to Germany trip main page.
The town of Berchtesgaden and the village up in the mountains called
Obersalzberg was the mountain retreat for Hitler and many of
his general staff. The actual Eagle's Nest was closed due to fog
but we did tour the tunnels that connected all of the warlords' homes
and also served as bomb shelters and backup living and operations
centers.
