Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle’s Nest):
Another place of interest in the province of Berchtesgaden is Kehlsteinhaus, also known as the Eagle’s Nest.

The unrestricted setting of Kehlstein on Obersalzberg mountain allows you to experience stunning views of the Alps during your visit, while examining the extensive material describing the history of the building.
