“This was by far the best tour we took in Germany. Our only regret was not wearing our hiking shoes for better traction walking up the hillside. Beatrix was our guide and did a wonderful job recreating and telling us the history of Eagles Nest. Even if you are not interested in Hitler's get away, which he did not like, The views of the Alps from the top of the mountain was well worth the trip.”
