Did You Know?
Open to the Public
Despite its association with Hitler, the Eagle's Nest has been open to tourists since 1952, when the mountaintop restaurant opened.
Mountain-Carved Access
The Eagle's Nest is accessed via a long, winding tunnel carved into the mountainside, adding to its dramatic and unique approach.
Shiny Elevator
A shiny brass-coated elevator takes visitors from the tunnel to the top of the mountain, providing a luxurious and memorable ride.
Fireplace Mystery
The fireplace in the former dining area is adorned with Italian marble, with some guides claiming it was a gift from Mussolini to Hitler, though the origin of this story is unclear.
