Why Kehlstein House matters

The Kehlstein House sits on a rocky summit high above Berchtesgaden. It was built in the 1930s as a retreat for the Nazi leadership, and today it is a mountain restaurant with a documentation centre nearby that explains its history. A special bus and a lift bring visitors to the top. The view is staggering.
