Since 1960, the Eagle’s Nest has been managed by the Berchtesgaden tourist board and run by a local concessionaire as a mountain top restaurant.

The impressive edifice with its meter thick walls is situated atop the Kehlstein mountain offering guests a breathtaking view over the Berchtesgaden area.

The theatrical aspects of the project are already encountered with
the 124 m (406 ft) marble-like stone tunnel that leads to a splendid brass elevator.

In only 41 seconds, the lift travels another 124 meters into the Eagle’s Nest building itself.
