Closed Emergency Exit to the Bunkersystem (3)
Location: Across the road from Hotel zum Türken
Today: Still there
You can find a lot of exits of the Obersalzberg tunnelsystem on the hill today. This one can’t be missed. There’s another exit nearby, but you have to get into the trees across Hotel zum Türken to see it.
One of the exits of the bunkersystem. In the summer of 2010 it was completely overgrown. In the summer and autumn of 2006 you could still see it. (pictures: the Hitlerpages, 2006)
Greenhouse (4)
Location: When you go uphill from Hotel zum Türken along the road to the new hotel (behind the bushes)
you see parking-
Today: Only the foundations of the greenhouse are still there.
Martin Bormann had a Greenhouse built near his house. There also was an observation tower for anti-
When you look closely at the picture left 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. (picture: the Hitlerpages, 2006)

Emergency Exit to the Bormann Bunker(5)
Location: 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 of the bunkersystem in the area, but you will have to get into the trees opposite to the Hotel zum Türken. This exit is near Martin Bormanns house. It was still open in 2006, but there’s water inside and a lot of stones and rubbish.

Bormann's House (6)
Location: Cross the road near the guardhouse of Hotel Zum Türken. Go into the trees. There’s an open space or a path behind the trees going around the new hotel on the Göringhill. Near that path are some remaining parts of the Bormann house.
Today: Only some remains are still there.
The house of Bormann overlooked Hotel Zum Türken. Underneath a tree you can see the remains of the house. 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 ruïns 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. One of the pictures below shows that, but the picture doesn’t show the blue colour right, unfortunately. Just like Göring, Bormann had a private swimming pool. How the tiles got where we found them, 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.
Only small stairs of the Bormann house remain visible today. A tree has grown over it.

Going downhill towards the golfcourse, we found tiles that might have been part of the swimming pool of the Bormann house.

Göring’s House (7)
Location: In 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 where the new hotel is standing now. The house stood where 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 there. On the other side of it is a stair going into the bushes. The hill that Göring’s house stood on was originally called the Adolf Hitler-

Koksbunker (11)
Location: Salzbergstraße, hintereck,
Today: Still there
This bunker was used for coal storage. It was built by Italian workers in 1940. Thanks to Bormann, who had the front of the bunker taken down again, after it was ready, it cost 770.000 Reichsmark to build it.
