The building sits on top of a mountain and\u00a0visiting requires a 20 minute bus ride, hike through a 400 foot tunnel, and 400 foot elevator ride.\u00a0Cultural and historical sites and monuments\u00a0are very careful not to adorn or decorate anything with Nazi paraphernalia, so nothing about Eagle&#8217;s Next looks anything like it did in the past. The views are beautiful and the cool mountain air was a relief from the hot weather, but it felt pretty touristy with a beer garden, restaurant, and souvenir shop.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_991\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4514.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-991\" class=\"wp-image-991\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4514-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A fireplace - a gift from Mussolini\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4514-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4514-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4514-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4514.jpg 1903w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-991\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A fireplace &#8211; a gift from Mussolini<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_992\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4515.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-992\" class=\"wp-image-992\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4515-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Eagle's Nest\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4515-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4515-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4515-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-992\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eagle&#8217;s Nest<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_993\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4526.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-993\" class=\"wp-image-993\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4526-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Trail at the summit\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4526-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4526-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4526-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trail at the summit<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_994\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4528.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-994\" class=\"wp-image-994\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4528-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"400 foot tunnel entrance\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4528-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4528-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_4528-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">400 foot tunnel entrance<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_996\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_4520.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-996\" class=\"wp-image-996\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_4520-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Eagle's Nest\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_4520-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_4520-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_4520-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-996\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eagle&#8217;s Nest<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had the best time at Berchtesgaden Salt Mine\u00a0today!
