Located not far from Salzburg, in neighboring Germany above Berchtesgarten, is one of the the last remaining reminders of Hitler. Known as the Eagle's Nest, it is perched high atop a mountain and can only be accessed via a long winding road and a ride in an elevator 400 feet up to the crest of the hill. On this day it is barely visible through the early morning haze. During the Nazi regime it was a place to entertain visiting dignitaries and was given to Hitler as a present on his 50th birthday. Today it houses a restaurant. Houses belonging to Hitler and many of his lieutenants, once located at the base of the mountain, have been demolished.
