This is very delayed, but none the less we wanted to share with you some more of our trip that we took several weeks ago. We left the castles and drove to a Hitler's Eagles Nest. The views were incredible. From there we drove into Austria and a small campground for the night.
The Eagles Nest was given to Hitler on his 50th birthday in 1939. It was incredibly constructed in 13 months. It was meant as a retreat for Hitler which he only visited the area about 10 times.

Enjoying something to drink and the view at a small cafe at Eagle's Nest.
Great views.
This fire place was inside Hitler's retreat and was a present from Benito Mussolini. If you look close you can see that it is chipped (in 1945) when the US troops captured the retreat.
The van has been named the mystery machine (from Scooby Doo) by some people in my unit. This was our camp site just over the border in Austria.
This was the view from our campground.
That night we drove into the small town that was near our camp spot. We ended up eating dinner in a small restaurant that was packed with people. Soon after we started eating a yodeling accordion player started performing as the people sang. It was quite an experience.
The following morning we went back to the same restaurant for breakfast. It was a neat little town.
