Most of you already know my affinity for military history so it probably isn’t a surprise that Eagles Nest was high on my priority list for places to visit if we ever made it back to Europe. Well today I got to cross it off my bucket list and I have to be completely honest but I was somewhat underwhelmed. I won’t go deep into the history of Eagles Nest here because frankly I’m not feeling very inspired to talk about it. This is primarily due to the fact that there is virtually no historical reference to the location anywhere within the building or surrounding mountain top. The interior has been fully converted into a restaurant and if it weren’t for the Elevator ride up you might be forgiven for thinking it was nothing more than a jumping off point for a few challenging mountain top hikes. It’s also rather surprising given how much effort Germany puts into atoning for the atrocities committed in the name of the Fatherland during Hitlers rule.
Anyway, disappointment aside, there were some fantastic views from the peak that I’ve tried my best to capture below.
