Where Eagles Dare trip report

[dppintr]

Remember the 1968 Alistair MacLean-scripted WW2 adventure film Where Eagles Dare with Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton? In 2012/13 we made trips to Austria, and also visited the movie locations

 

The Where Eagles Dare movie starts with a scene of a Junkers 52 coming in from the distance, accompanied by the music of Ron Goodwin. The Junkers 52 that was used in the film is still flying today (HB-HOT, ju-air, Dubendorf, Switzerland).

 

The outside scenes were filmed in Austria, near Salzburg. The Schloss Adler is castle Hohenwerfen. The walk to Werfen over the bridge is at Werfen, while the Werfen town scenes were filmed in Lofer. The cable car to the castle is the Feuerkogel cable car at Ebensee. Oberhausen airfield is in fact the military Aigen im Ennstal airfield. Landing there would have required paperwork in advance, but we were allowed to make a low pass.
