I would be delighted to tailor a 6 hour tour to your party's interests. After visiting the world-famous Eagle's Nest perched on a mountaintop at 1, 834m (6, 017ft), we'll tour the so-called "Alpine Fortress" at Obersalzberg - the place that the Allies so eagerly sought to capture - along with Hitler himself. During the tour I shall underline the historic significance of what is often termed "Hitler's Mountain, " and recount the history-defining decisions made here. Hitler spent time on the Obersalzberg mountain intermittently over a period of 22 years. In fact he used it as his main residence and seat of power for nearly one-third of his time in power. On the History Buff Tour I'll show you numerous existing buildings as well as former locations connected to his one-time HQs compound on the mountainside and, possibly, in the valley of Berchtesgaden. We'll also have time to discuss topics related to Hitler's regime that may be of particular interest to you.
As a historian who has carried out extensive research on Hitler's long-time relationship with this mountain, I will tell you the story of how Hitler came to choose this area and how it was showcased within the Nazi's nationwide propaganda machine. The tour includes the following: - We take the special mountain bus and original elevator to Hitler's Eagle's Nest perched on a mountaintop. There, I shall relate the inside story of its construction and use. - Back down at Obersalzberg, I'll drive you to 30-some existing structures and sites at the former Nazi compound - We tour the site of Hitler's former home and headquarters where I'll reveal its historic significance on many levels We can discuss your choice among the following: - Visit the bunkers and documentation center - Walk to the site of Mooslahnerkopf Teahouse (Hitler's favorite destination for a ritual afternoon walk) & the hidden defense "pillbox" - Drive to numerous historic sites in the valley of Berchtesgaden. Tour can be customized.

For the tour of Hitler's former HQs compound I drive an air-conditioned 7-seater Ford Galaxy with leather seats. The two seats at the very back are a bit tight (better suited for kids). Access to the Eagle's Nest on the mountaintop is with a specially designed public bus, followed by a ride in the original brass-lined elevator.
