Hotel Zum Türken
Pass the Berghof, when you’re on the driveway walking towards the road,
you’ll see Hotel zum Türken when you look up
Today:still there, not so much has changed
Hotel zum Türken was used by the ss. You can still see the ss-guardhouse in front of the hotel. When you look behind the hotel you’ll find another entrance to the bunkercomplex, open to the public. The entrance looks like a little shop. You can see the blocked tunnel leading to the rooms of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun.
Behind the hotel there’s an open space where ss-buildings and a kindergarten used to be. When you walk just around the hotel parking place, back into the woods you can look down on the Berghof-site.

Emergency Exit to the Bormann Bunker
Across the road from Hotel zum Türken, into the woods; with your
back turned to Hotel zum Türken, you go to the left
Today: still there
There’s another exit nearby, but you have to get into the trees across Hotel zum Türken to see it. This one is still open, but going in is not a good idea. There’s water inside and a lot of stones and rubbish.

Bormann's House
Into the trees across the road from Hotel zum Türken; there’s an open space/pathway behind the trees running around the new hotel on the Göringhill
Today: only some remains are still there
The house of Bormann overlooked the Hotel Zum Türken. In a little bush you can see the remains of the house. Under a tree you can see the remains of a stair. On www.thirdreichruins.com there’s a picture of the blue tiles of the swimming pool of Göring. Quote: This view of the ruins of Landhaus Göring shows the site in the early 1950s, before the ruins were razed. The swimming pool was by then overgrown and choked with weeds. The photo on the right shows a large piece of the blue glazed tile that once lined the swimming pool (this tile piece and others have disappeared due to the hotel construction). We found concrete with blue tiles on it downhill from the Bormann house in a drain in the bushes. The picture doesn’t show the blue colour right, unfortunately. It was blue tough. Just like Göring, Bormann had a private swimming pool too. How the tiles got there, we don’t know. Maybe the construction company of the new hotel dumped stuff on other parts of the mountain. We don’t know if the tiles are Bormanns or Görings. But that doesn’t really matter. It’s very unlikely they ‘ll come to claim them.

Göring’s House
From the Bormann house you go uphill to the garden behind the new hotel
Today: gone
Göring's house was on the highest point of the Obersalzberg. It had a swimming pool in front of the house. The house faced the place were the new hotel is standing now. The house stood were today a little pond is made. There’s a small height on the edge of the garden with a path going up. This height of ground was originally also there. On the other side of it there’s a stair going into the bushes. The highest place on this part of the mountain was originally called the Adolf Hitler-Höhe. Later it was called the Göringhügl.

Greenhouse
When you go from Hotel zum Türken uphill along the road to the new hotel (behind the bushes)
you see parking-places along the road
Today: foundations of the greenhouse are visible
There’s something that looks like a wall behind parking places. This is actually the foundation of the greenhouse. There also was an observation tower for anti-aircraft defense and a communications center behind the greenhouse foundations. They’re not longer there. When the leaves have fallen, you can see the concrete foundations through the bushes from the road before Hotel zum Türken. When you look closely at the picture below you can see cars parked behind the trees. The greenhous foundations are there. The new hotel is build on a higher spot than the greenhouse was.
