Austria ~ Eagle’s Nest

After our travels in Italy we decided to spend a few days in Austria and Germany.  The highway from Venice to Saltsburg was filled with the most picturesque, lush, rolling hills, white-washed villages, and grazing milk cows.  Not to mention several of the longest and craziest tunnels I’ve ever been through.  Our first stop in Austria was the Eagle’s Nest.  It was a present given to Hitler for his 50th birthday and is a home perched atop a mountain.  Turns out Hitler was actually afraid of heights so he only visited a few times.  We loved the amazing views and climbing along the jagged trail. We we literally up in the clouds and the hawks were lazily circling the sky.
