We visited the Eagles Nest, which was a birthday present for Hitler. It is in an area that he loved to vacation in. They built it on the top of a mountain and it only took just over a year to build. They built a small road up to the top along with this building/house that was named the Eagles Nest. Hitler didn't go there too often because he was afraid of heights. This first picture is at the place where you get on a bus to go up to the Eagles Nest. There is a museum and documentary of Hitler and the Nazi's. It was a cold day and rained off and on. The kids were cold and again we had no jackets for them except the ones we brought for the grown-ups.
This was in one of the bunkers at the museum. The boys loved running through the bunker. Connor figured out that when he yells in places like this it is really loud. Ever since then he has been yelling when he gets into places like cathedrals and other quiet rooms. It has been a bit embarrassing.
Cute family at the top of the mountain.
The boys were pretending they walked up this entire mountain. The brochure said it was a 2 hr vigorous hike. Had we hiked it, it likely would have been the end of most of the Benjamin Platt family. Luckily there was a beautiful bus to take us to the top.
As I said before, it was cold and rainy. We were a bit scared because one family at the bottom of the hill said they were just coming down and it was snowing at the top. Cael had this jacket on and was walking up the stone stairs and tripped. He had no way of catching himself and chipped a tooth on the stone. Luckily it was one of his baby teeth. This was just after that. If you look close you can see those big tears as we are telling him to smile for the camera.
Beautiful.
There is a small hill you can walk up at the top of the Eagles Nest. This is looking back at the structure and the surrounding landscape.
This is the view walking up from the building. It was sure cold.
