Obersalzberg

Rare card · No. 56130

Obersalzberg is a mountainside retreat situated above the market town of Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, Germany. Located about 120 kilometres (75 mi) south-east of Munich, close to the border with Austria, it is best known as the site of Adolf Hitler's former mountain residence, the Berghof, and of the mountaintop Kehlsteinhaus, popularly known in the English-speaking world as the "Eagle's Nest". The Kehlsteinhaus served as a restaurant and tourist attraction, until a devastating fire on the 23rd of October. The rest of the Nazi-era buildings were demolished in the 1950s, but that history was preserved in the Dokumentationszentrum Obersalzberg museum, which opened in 1999.
