Providing information on the use of the mountainside retreat by Nazi leaders, the museum was opened in 1999, and by 2007 had been visited by more than one million people. It sits on the foundation of the Hoher Göll guesthouse. There is also a link through a tunnel to the extended bunker complex at the demolished General Walker Hotel (former Platterhof), constructed in 1943–45. The exhibition covers the two floors of the main building and extends through the tunnel to the bunker. However, only a portion of it is dedicated to the history of the Obersalzberg itself, including a small section on the post-1945 era, when most of the area was used by the American military. The exhibition ends with a documentation of the Holocaust in the dark of the bunker. Only a part of the extensive shelter network is accessible today.

The deepest lake in the Alps, surrounded by very steep mountain that raise up 2,000 m above the lake level. You can make a boat trip to the other side of the lake to visit the world famous Kloster St. Bartolomä, the smaller lake Obersee and enjoy the wildlife of the national park. Hiking is very popular in summer and tours around the lake are sign posted. Routes are prepared by the "Deutsche Alpenverein" and they indicate usually how long it takes to get to your destination, and how difficult they are. One of the possible targets is the Landtalbach waterfall, in a valley above Obersee.
