The Eagle’s Nest, Bavaria,
Germany
The Eagle’s Nest, or Kehlsteinhaus, was
originally a gift for Hitler and, although he didn’t spend much time here, it
became a symbol of Nazi rule. It’s now a restaurant serving traditional
Bavarian cuisine and, while the website says reservations aren’t required, the
sheer effort of the journey means it’s worth calling ahead. Teetering on the
edge of Mount Kehlstein in the Bavarian Alps, this engineering marvel is
accessed via a wiggly (and at times terrifying) road carved into the mountains,
with a brass elevator whisking diners to the restaurant.
