    It all depends on your perspective, I guess. I am certain Blondi took more than one dump there herself.

            I returned to the Obersalzburg last week, for the first time in the summer, so I finally got to see the Kehlsteinhaus and have a beer at 3,000 + feet. Rather than start a new thread, I thought I would just bring this one back up. I took along Geoff Walden's excellent reference guide to the region and have added some more photos of a few of the more obscure things to find.

            Hope you enjoy the show!

            First up, the Berghof site. It may just be my faulty memory, but it seems like more of the retaining wall has been cleared of vegetation than in my previous trips...

              The foundation of the Kämpfhausel, where Hitler wrote the sequel to Mein Kampf after his release from Landsburg Prison:

                The Kämpfhausel foundations and the top of a Moll bunker, which were spread along the perimeter of the Führersperrgebeit for the protection of the perimeter guards. More on those later.

                  Rather than walking over snow and ice to the Mooslahnerkopf tea house ruins this time, we had to slog through water and snow, but I did manage to find some of the bomb craters form the April 1945 RAF attack on the Obersalzberg complex:

                      The teahouse remains have not changed much since most of the ruins were removed a decade ago:

                        The beauty of having Geoff's book: This fully intact Moll bunker is only a few hundred yards from the tea house and actually marks the boundary of the Führersperrgebeit, but unless you know it was there, you'd probably never know to look:

                            The perimeter fence ran about six to eight feet in front of the bunker, and the bases for the fence polls are still in place so you can actually walk the perimeter if you are so inclined:

                                Very nice photos. Thanks.
                                I am curious who now owns this Berghof site?
