On Friday morning we left Vienna and headed towards Salzburg, Austria with a stop by the Eagle's Nest. This was one of Hitler's hideouts during World War 2. When we got there we didn't really think about how cold it would be on TOP of a high mountain. So Kora Lily and I stayed at the bottom of the hill while Sam made his adventure to the TOP.

~ Bus Ride to Half way point is the only way to get there. The road is very steep and dangerous. 7km long rising 2200ft.
~ then I walked 400 ft deep into the mountain through a tunnel.
~ followed by the Brass Elevator ride to the top (409ft. ~ 41 seconds long)
~ I finally made it to the Top of Eagle's Nest "Kehlsteinhaus". Now a restaurant for visitors.

Pictures: Right Column ~ are some of the great views from on top of the mountain that I got to see.
Kora Lily and I went thru some of the bunkers that the Germans hid out in and through the Museum. We tried to see if we could see daddy at the top of the mountain...but we couldn't.
