Königssee and Obersee
Location: Exact location not found yet
Today: The famous spots are still recognisable, though the water has risen.
Eva Braun often swam in these two lakes. The Obersee is the smaller one. It’s the one with the waterfall in the Eva Braun home movies.

In 1936 the second Reichs Chancellery was built in Stanggass. There’s also a former hospital built in 1940 in Stangass, named the Dietrich Eckart Krankenhaus. It must still be there.

Purtscheler Haus
Location: Past the Obersalzberg and the Klaushöhe runs the Purtschellerstrasse. Between the Purtschellerstrasse and the Hoher Göll is the Purtscheller Haus. Exact location: 47’36’34.06’’N - 13’04’18.46’E
Today: still there
Nerin E. Gunn writes about this house in his book about Eva Braun. He says Hitler also worked on Mein Kampf at this location. Other books (for instance the more recent study about Mein Kampf of Othmar Plöckinger) don’t mention the Purtscheller Haus. Hitler probably knew the place, but if it’s got something to do with Mein Kampf is not sure.
