We met up with our Guide outside the Railway Station and were shown onto a very modern and comfortable bus with air conditioning. The guide was very friendly and spoke very good English , my only comment was he tended to ramble on and forget what he was talking about.
It took about 50 minutes to get to our destination where we ere dropped off near the small museum.
Our guide then gave us a brief over view of the site before we set off to walk to the actual compound.
Please be aware there is a lot of walking and I mean a lot of walking on uneven surfaces and hardly anywhere to sit and rest. The sun was out and it was quite mild
in Berlin, but be aware it is a very exposed site and gets very , very cold. There are toilets and a small shop on site.
You approach the camp through the original Tower A and you are met by a desolate landscape giving a sense of the unimaginable horrors that took place here.
You can climb the tower which gives you an overview of what lies ahead.
You visit a reconstructed prisoner barracks where there is also a chilling exhibition .
You then walk round to the original cell block and again try and take in the horrors that took place here.
You then walk round to see the execution pit , ovens and other horrific torture sites.
Our guide was very informative and was happy to answer questions.
This is a very moving and thought provoking tour and definitely worth a visit when in Berlin.
