Views from The Eagles Nest in Obersalzberg, Germany

in #photography6 years ago

This is Hitler's Eagles Nest, sitting on a mountain peak high above Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps. Originally a birthday present to Adolf Hitler, it now features a pretty nice restaurant with some spectacular 360-degree views of the Alps. Depending on weather circumstances, the panorama is incredible. You can look over both Germany and Austria, and on a clear day you can see Salzburg. When it's misty - and I heard that's pretty often the case - the clouds can give an eerie feeling .

I like history and photography, and this is a great location to combine just those. If you are short on time, you can take a tour from Salzburg or from Munich with everything included (transport, guides, etc.). Recommended trip!

Wonderful photo

Very interesting. I was there five or six times, and I always feel strange when I walk in the same places where Hitler, Eva Braun and all the other were...It is history, but I also say that these were the old good times.

Cute mountains and views. We invite you to our Polish High Tatras if you have not yet had the opportunity to visit them.

Wow. Those photo looks beautiful. I have never been there before but it will be fun been there someday

@martinphoto Such amazing scenery! Thank you for sharing with us :)

Wow, I didn't know about this place. Nice post @martinphoto, and great photos as well.

Damn, what an amazing view . . .

Did you take these photos?!

What a scene! Hiking Germany is definitely on my list!

Just think... This is where all the Hitlerites enjoyed entertainment while they planned their plague upon the world. Since I claim some heritage in this part of the world it gives me pause to reflect. Sadly.

Beautiful spot! Thanks for the history lesson!

Beautiful photos..Is all the photos are your content? Then woww!!!

martinphoto , you came out of nowhere and you are killing it in Steem with stunning content. This truly shows that when one is dedicated success does not take long to follow.

martinphoto is a straight shooter and I am glad to see that he continues to give solid advice.
