A 2-die machine at Hitler's former "tea house" at an altitude of 1834 m, now oficially known as Kehlsteinhaus, but better known as the Eagle's Nest.
The machine takes a 5 eurocent coin to be smashed, and a 1 euro coin in order to let the machine work. There are two designs available. Both are almost similar and show the Kehlsteinhaus, but one has the text "KEHLSTEINHAUS 1834m" while the other has the text "EAGLES NEST 1834m".
The machine is located inside the Kehlsteinhaus in the covered sun terrace that is now used as a photo gallery at the side that is connected to the so called "Scharitzkehlraum" that was used by Eva Braun as a tea room. It's difficult to get a good GPS fix at the location of this machine, so instead I've used the coordinates of my penny smasher waymark "Eagle's Nest 1", which is on the outside terrace of the Kehlsteinhaus. Looking from these coordinates to the Kehlsteinhaus, the entance to the sun terrace is on the far left side. For further information see my penny smasher waymark "Eagle's Nest 1".
Denomination: Other
