Where Eagle's Dare Castle of Werfen

About this activity

Discover the fascinating WWII history of Obersalzberg, Hitler’s Berghof, and the original underground bunkers, combined with Hohenwerfen Castle, famous from the movie Where Eagles Dare.

Far more than Hitler’s mountain residence, the Berghof became one of Nazi Germany’s most important centers of power, second only to Berlin. Discover where Hitler received foreign leaders and made far-reaching decisions concerning war and persecution.

Explore the former Berghof site and sections of the original WWII bunkers. Although the legendary Eagle’s Nest is no longer accessible, its historical legacy remains at Obersalzberg.

Visit the nearly 1,000 year old Hohenwerfen Fortress, featured as Schloss Adler in Where Eagles Dare. Explore its medieval courtyards, enjoy spectacular Alpine scenery, and, when scheduled, watch an impressive birds-of-prey demonstration.

Enjoy time for lunch in charming Berchtesgaden. A memorable combination of WWII history, movie magic, and Alpine beauty.
