Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Not only is the mountain town of Berchtesgaden very attractive, it is also a must-visit destination for anyone who is interested in WWII history. Here, at Obersalzburg, you can see the remains of what was once Hitler’s mountain stronghold (which was mostly destroyed by the Bavarian government in the hopes of erasing its notorious history). You can visit the Documentation Center, which is the official historical museum and contains a wealth of Third Reich history. You can also access the bunker system under the building and another eerie and extensive bunker system under Hotel Turken. If you prefer a more light-hearted day you can enjoy some very scenic hiking, visit the salt mine or have a scenic lunch in Hitler’s former home – the Eagle’s Nest.
