What To Expect
The Eagle's Nest
the Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden, Germany, is a historic site with a dark past. Here's a brief history of the Eagle's Nest: -Construction: Built in 1939, the Eagle's Nest was a mountaintop chalet and the former southern headquarters of the Nazi party. It was a gift from Hitler's inner circle for his 50th birthday -Design: The building was designed by Martin Bormann, and it was built with precision stonework evoking fascist obedience Hitler's Visits: Hitler seldom visited the Eagle's Nest, as he was afraid of heights. He visited only 14 times -Symbol of Power: The Eagle's Nest was a symbol of power for the Nazi regime, and decisions were made there -Survival: The Eagle's Nest was one of the few undamaged monuments of the Nazi era, as Allied bombing at the end of World War II did not damage the building

Berchtesgaden Salt Mines
The history of salt mining in Berchtesgaden dates back to the 12th century when an important salt deposit was discovered in the Bavarian Alps. Salt extraction began around 1193 near Schellenberg and shortly after at Gollenbach in Berchtesgaden. In 1517, Prince Provost Gregor Rainer founded the Berchtesgaden salt mine, marking the official start of mining operations. Over the centuries, the technology in the mine evolved, introducing new methods to enhance efficiency and safety. Notably, in 1816, the brine pipeline from Berchtesgaden to Bad Reichenhall was constructed, showcasing innovative engineering with water column lifting machines. The mine opened to visitors in 1816 for selected individuals and to the general public in 1880. Today, the Berchtesgaden salt mine remains an active salt mining site and a significant historical attraction, reflecting the long tradition of salt mining in Germany
