Eagle's Nest
Lofty raptor home
Eagle's Nest is a high, remote, or inaccessible place—literally where eagles build their nests on cliffs or mountaintops.
The term often describes dramatic viewpoints or elevated retreats: The cabin was perched like an eagle's nest on the ridge.
Capitalized, it commonly refers to Hitler's Alpine retreat in Bavaria, the Kehlsteinhaus.
