The Eagle Nest is located in the Alps near Bechtesgaden, Bavaria, southern Germany, at an altitude of 1884 meters and was built in 1938 by Martin Bowman as a villa for Hitler's 50th birthday celebrations. Hitler used it as a treat for important guests, and in 1945 the Allies bombed the Eagle Nest, but it was not damaged. Today, the Eagle Nest has become an important tourist destination. The eagle nest is built on the top of the mountain, and you need to take the scenic bus. You can only reach it by changing to the golden elevator through the marble cave. The eagle nest has been converted into a restaurant. The red marble fireplace that Mussolini gave Hitler is still intact!
