The Eagle’s Nest
was Hitler’s retreat. Martin Bormann had it built, and gave it to
Hitler for his 50th birthday. In spite of that, Hitler did not spend a
great deal of time there. That fact may have saved it from Allied
bombing at the end of World War II. A charitable trust has custody of
The Eagles nest now, which has been transformed into a restaurant.
Together with the nearby town of Berchtesgaden it is a popular
destination among Munich day trips.
