History
Salzburg’s core grew under prince-archbishops from the Middle Ages; the Obersalzberg area later hosted Nazi leadership, with the Kehlsteinhaus constructed around Hitler’s 50th birthday as a mountaintop retreat.
Conservation
Visitor pressure can erode trails and strain mountain habitats; stay on marked paths, pack out waste, and follow guide rules at historical sites to minimize impact.
