Eagels Nest

Kelstein Haus

This was Hitlers Mountain Retreat, which is now a Restaurant. This makes a pleasant day out for the hole Family and is only a 40 Mins from The Farberhaus B&B Cost for the bus ride up and entry is approx €15  A BARGAIN! A symbol of the power of the NS regime even though decisions were made at the Eagle's Nest, it still stands for the insanity of his regime. It stands for his world on the Obersalzberg, where plans for war and mass murder were formed there. The Eagle's Nest was a present to Hitler from the political party, who, without any free will surrendered to the man who was going to bring down the world. In defiance, the building stands perched over a sheer rock wall. A road was cut into the mountain through the previously impassable terrain. Although an architectural master piece, it was still an act of waste on nature and other resources. To reach it, there is a golden brass elevator buried in the heart of the mountain, through which one can reach "the summit of power" - all this is created with the sole purpose to impress and dazzle people.      visit website

Today, the gorge is already 400 meters long, 80 meters deep and up to 6 meters wide at the top and a narrow 80 cm at the bottom. A total of 51 footbridges and 35 walkways with 373 steps were built into the gorge.

Red Bull Hangar-7

By the late 1990s there was no longer enough space for the rapidly expanding Flying Bulls fleet, originally based at Innsbruck Airport. This sowed the seed of a plan to erect a hangar at Salzburg Airport. The time had also arrived when the heretofore loose association of pilots and mechanics needed to be brought under a common roof, which led to the "Flying Bulls" being founded in 1999. Since then the Flying Bulls' technically and visually perfect aircraft have become popular participants at air shows and an attraction at any type of aviation event. The globally admired and unique collection includes rarities such as the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, a North American B-25J Mitchell, a Chance Vought F4U-4 "Corsair" and a DC-6. The helicopter fleet is no less impressive: the Flying Bulls' ranks include two BO 105s, the world's only civil helicopter licensed for aerobatics, plus helicopters such as the Bell Cobra, which can claim a glamorous past.     visit website

Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse

At 3,798m the Grossglockner is not only the highest mountain in Austria, it also counts among the highest peaks in the Alps. The pyramid-shaped Grossglockner lies behind the slightly smaller Kleinglockner (3,770 m), separated by a saddle-like formation known as the Glocknerscharte. The first ascent was in 1800 but victory and defeat accompanied other expeditions. The Pallavicini Trough is named after Margrave Alfred Pallavicini, who met his death on the Glockner in 1886. The Grossglockner and Pasterze Glacier have been owned by the Austrian Alpine Association since 1918. In 1951, Oskar Kühlken, author of the "Glockner Book“ described the myth behind the mountain as follows: "The Grossglockner is more than just the highest mountain in Austria. It is enveloped in the aura of an extraordinary personality, cast on all who fall under its spell.“ With the building of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, the majestic peak acquired a new dimension.
