At the top of the drive, members of the staff and cast of the film "Der laufende Berg" are seen. (The film crew had been visited by Adolf Hitler's mistress Eva Braun who filmed parts of the shooting with her private camera. Apparently she invited them to make this visit.) Actress Hansi Knoteck is the first cast member seen after the car ride. The rest of the guests mingle admiring the view, although the mountaintop is covered in mist. Actor, Paul Richter, wearing a Tyrolean hat, smiles and laughs as he takes photographs with his own camera. Actor Gustl Stark-Gstettenbauer, and actresses, Hansi Knoteck and Maria Andergast, stand behind him. Scene shifts to entrance of the Eagles Nest, where the film staff and cast members mingle and converse. Cast members Richter, Stark-Gsterrenbauer, Knoteck, and Andergast fool around for the camera. Andergast puts her finger on the nose of actor Gustl Stark-Gstettenbauer, and he makes a sound with his mouth, while Hansi laughs. Andergast does it twice. Director,Hans Deppe, in buttoned up dark coat chuckles at the antics of his cast members. Next, Some closeups of boy actor Willi Johannis. The visitors are next seen heading toward cars to take them home again. Chauffeurs in German military uniforms prepare the cars. Paul Richter chats with another man as they approach the cars. Richter, Knoteck, and Angergast look backward from the car they are riding. Change of scene shows the four cast members admiring scenery in the area (perhaps on a stop during their descent from the Eagles Nest). Then, the entire visiting group is seen likewise.
