Studio and house Albert Speer
On the road in front of the Gutshof you go back uphill to the Berghof, when you look to the right you’ll see the Speer houses very soon; there’s a little road going to the right; when you take it you’ll get to an open field with a lot of remains of buildings that were once there. You can see the Speer houses from there.
Today: look very much the same, private residences
The house of Albert Speer is the higher one of the two houses. Before it was bought in the 30’s, it was a pension. It looks down on his studio, designed by Speer and built in 1939. On the first two pictures of the Gutshof you can see the Speer houses in the back. The house is in the centre, the studio is behind the trees.

Field and bushes between Speer’s houses and Berghof and Documentation Centre
How to get there see: Studio and house Albert Speer
There are some remains of buildings or constructions on this part of the mountain too. This must be the area were the workmen, working on the mountain, had their barracks. There was a so called Theaterhalle too. In the bushes around you can find a lot of concrete remains. Behind the bushes opposite to the Speer houses there is the Documentaton Centre.

Guardhouse in front of Berghof
From the Speer houses site, you go back to the road and walk toward the Berghof
Today: Remains of the guardhouse visible
The first (black and white) photo shows the guardhouse with the Berghof in the back. The first two coloured pictures are made in the summer, the other ones in November 2006. The third foto is the view from the Berghof-site on the place were the guardhouse used to be.

Kehlsteinhaus
You go back in direction of the parking place. You can go through the woods past the Berghof site or go around Hotel zum Türken. When you cross the open field of the SS Kaserne and Kindergarten you get to the busstop for the Kehlsteinhaus.
Today: still there, buses only go in spring and summer
On top of the mountain the Kehlstein is the Kehlsteinhouse or the Eagle’s Nest. You can get there only by bus. The buses only go up in the spring and summer. The bus takes you to a large door with a tunnel in the mountain behind it of 130 meters. You go 120 meters up with a lift that takes you to the Kehlsteinhaus.
The Kehlsteinhaus was build for Hitler, but he didn’t go up that often.

Klaushöhe and Buchenhöhe
Coming from the parking place of the Documentation Centre/Kehlesteinhouse, you follow the road to the left. Keep on going straight ahead. The Klaushöhe is about one km. from the Platterhof
Today: still some houses there
The Klaushöhe is the place were the families of SS-guards or staff-members lived. There were 4 rows of 8 houses. Two or three families lived in one house. Both höhes were damaged during the bombing in 1945. Some of the houses are rebuilt.
The Buchenhöhe was larger than the Klaushöhe. There were 40 low appartmentcomplexes. There also was a school, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a hotel etc. All kind of staffmembers and their relatives lived there.
Below you see two pictures of the Klaushöhe.

The (route to the) Teehaus Mooslahnerkopf today:
The Gutshof today, it houses a golfclub and a restaurant
Gasthof Hochlenzer today
Teehaus Mooslahnerkopf
Go downhill from the Göringhügl on the skipiste. You walk toward a Golfcourse. When there’s noone there you can cross it to go into the woods. You’ll find a path immediatly. You follow the path. Following the path you’ll soon get to a point were you have an open view. You can see the Gutshof, but it’s also a spot were you can look up to the Berghof site. (some wellknown pictures off the Berghof are taken from this spot.) You follow the path into the woods again. It’s a 10 minute stroll to the Teehaus site. The path will split in two. Going right is actually wrong, but it will bring you to an interesting spot were a wall or foundations can be seen. What has been there, we don’t know. When you stand on it you can see a typical Obersalzberg guardhouse below. When you turn back, you must follow the path again. You’ll see the spot of the Teehaus and the little field in front of it in short a while.
Today: Since the summer of 2005 the Teehausruïns have gone. The little field in front of it again looks the same as on old nazi-pictures.
The Teehaus was the destination of the daily walk Hitler used to make when he was on the Obersalzberg. Hitler and his company drank tea and ate cake over there. The actual route Hitler used to take is different from the one mentioned above. Hitler started his walk just beneath the Berghof. When you take that route you can go around the golf course. The first three pictures (above) are from this Berghof-route. From the fourth picture on the both routes are the same. (When you walk around the golfcourse you should stay on the same level of the golfcourse for a while. At one time you have a choise to make. Go downhill or not. You choose not to go downhill.)
