Hitler and Maria von Trapp on the same day!

Did the typical tourist thing by making arrangements for a bus tour to Kehlsteinhaus, (Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest) near Berchtesgaden in the morning, and The Original Sound of Music tour in the afternoon.

We had talked with an attorney from Seattle who was travelling on her own for 16 days. She had been to Kehlsteinhaus that day and couldn’t say enough good things about the tour, especially the view. On that recommendation, we made our own reservations. Should have paid attention to the weather. Once we got to the top, we couldn’t see a thing because we were up in the clouds.

It was interesting to learn more about Hitler, Eva Braun and how little this beautiful place was used because of Hitler’s fear of heights.
