It was a view to die for.

A top German neo-Nazi plummeted nearly 200 feet to his death while hiking on what is believed to be Adolf Hitler’s favorite mountain.

Andreas Münzhuber, 37, a senior member of the Bavaria faction of neo-Nazi group The Third Way, was climbing Untersberg mountain on a 30-person tour when he tripped on an exposed wet root and fell 196 feet down rocky terrain to his death on Sept. 29, German news outlets reported.

Untersberg — a nearly 6,500-foot high summit in Germany — was considered Hitler’s favorite view, with the Nazi dictator constructing his infamous Eagle’s Nest retreat in the same area, according to The Telegraph. 

The site has since become an attraction for tyrants to visit.
