Guide #24819
Let me show you where Hitler chose to reside over a period of time in the spectacular Bavarian Mountains, feel the history and experience the many local traditions throughout the year. I was born in Harare, Zimbabwe and then moved to South Africa in the early 80's. For the past 29 years I have been living in Berchtesgaden, Germany. I studied zoology and botany with the intention of becoming an entomologist. At this time in South Africa, a very exciting and traumatic political period made me develop an interest in history and how it affects our future. After backpacking around Europe for some time, I returned to South Africa and met my future (German) husband back in Cape Town. Love at first sight, a story in itself. Four months later, I ended up in Berchtesgaden, Bavaria/Germany, where I have lived since 1990 with my husband and our four children. Wow, what a beautiful place to live in, with the Königssee, Bavarian mountains and of course the historic sights of the Third Reich, Eagles Nest, Obersalzberg Berghof (Hitler's house), bunkers and more. I would like to share these wonderful landmarks with you, with a tailor-made tour according to your interests. In 2011 we bought a dormant farm, which we have reactivated as an organic farm, breading domestically endangered animals that were in Berchtesgaden and the alps since a few hundred years. Mountain farming can be very challenging but also rich in cultural tradition. We continue to learn by trial and error and are enjoying our exciting journey. I have been working as a tour guide since 1996 and have been certified as a specialized guide for Third-Reich themes by the Munich-Berlin Institute for Contemporary History, which allows me to give tours of the Documentation center Obersalzberg. I have done several agricultural courses through the Agriculture department Germany. None

Thank you it was my pleasure Sharon
We had just four hours for our visit to Obersalzberg. Sharon picked us up at the train station and returned us exactly on time. Her knowledge of the history, and ability to communicate it in English, was excellent. The photographs she shared on her iPad also added interesting historical insights and context. Brava.

Thank you for positive comments. Sharon
Sharon was a very knowledgable guide with excellant English. We were looking for a tour guide with deep knowledge of Hitlers Berghof in Obersalzburg, where the Nazi's built a mass complex/compound that operated as a second headquarters. It operated as the command center for many of Hitlers major decisions, and became a centrepiece of Nazi propaganda. The Eagles nest...
