You're standing at the Kehlsteinhaus, better known in English as the Eagle's Nest. It sits on top of the Kehlstein, at 1,834 metres, high above Obersalzberg near Berchtesgaden. Martin Bormann was behind its construction. There's a persistent story that the house was a gift for Adolf Hitler's fiftieth birthday, in 1939. That isn't true.

Read and hear the whole story in the Outdoor Pitstop app: check in at this place and it is yours (with Pro; new users are Pro for the first 4 weeks).
