Eagles Nest

This morning we took the option of an early morning tour to Berchtesgaden and Hitlers lair at the Eagles Nest. It proved to be an unforgettable experience, aided by our most perfect weather day so far.
Our guide Veronika was great and we beat the hordes to the top. Hitlers mate, Martin Bormann had the roads and buildings built for Hitlers 50th birthday. A great present, except that he hated heights!
Could understand how this place would have him shaking, but the climb up and the views were incredible. With plenty of ice and snow laying about it was no place for running about.
On return to Salzburg, we headed back to Munich for some late lunch. Crowds were out in force on a warm Saturday, and locals were using the banks of the river and parks to sun bake.
