  going into the bunkers

A unique if somewhat eerie experience is to vist the old ww2 bunkers in this area - Hitler had these bunkers and air-raid shelter built in 1943. The bunker systems consisted of multi-level tunnels lined with concrete and bricks, with associated power, heating, and ventilation systems, and anti-gas protection systems. They are accessible from the guest hotel - Haus Turken in Obersalzberg.
There are others in the area but these are the most interesting. Today many are being put to better use by being converted to disco halls or music studios!

Since our vist a new Documentation Centre has also opened in 1999 that details the National Socialist era.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
