"One of Europes Most Breathtaking Views " a Berchtesgaden Travel Page by mydreamquest

One day, while staying in Salzburg, I drove into the part of Germany's Bavaria that is narrowly sandwiched between the Eastern and Western parts of Austria.

I read of this being Adolf Hitler's 50th Birthday present from the Nazi Party. How, often he'd come here tor relax away from; oddly; the terror of his meglomaniacal aspirations.

However, if you're in Munich or nearby, you must venture into this quiet part of Germany.

I found this web site that outlines how to find buses that will take you there to this majestic view of the Berectsgaden Valley:

There's a slightly overpriced place on top where you can eat lunch and a short walk to a sort of cross (see next picture below).

Prior to getting to the quarters, you have to walk thru this eerie tunnel to an elevator that goes up higher.

The Quarters where Hitler stayed is now a restaurant. Down below ,where the people are, is a souvenoir stand as well.
