eagles nest


today was our last day of a fantastic trip...we got up to our only rainy day...off we went to the eagle's nest...that is hitler's conference room that is on top of a mountain....it was a really pretty drive up the mountain...only it was foggy from the rain...hitler was given this chalet in 1938 for his 50th birthday....it's a conference room, a tea room and a restaurant...he only came a few times because he didn't like heights...when the weather is good you can see to salzburg...after seeing the eagles nest, we went to berchtesgaden....it's a beautiful little city in germany...afterwards we came back to salzburg and packed up for our train to munich...so, now we're in munich ready to fly home tomorrow..

  1. I hope you twirled and sang "The Hills are Alive" in the meadows of Berchtesgaden! Did you get a dirndl?

  4. Well. Excellent photos, even in the fog! Beautiful, beautiful. (My kids would go rolling DOWN those hills, singing "The hills are alive..." To each his own, right?)
