Traveler reviews
Joel Thomas James Baxter
★★★★★2 months agoI went with my family for the sunset, first we grabbed some beers and snacks at the nearby Kaufland. We had our baby with a stroller and it is accessible all the way to the top. It gets a little busy around sunset but then quickly clears out. Great spot to hang out and enjoy the vibes.

★★★★★2 months agoGreat place to watch the sunset and reflect that you are sitting on top a genuine Nazi built bunker. The hike up is a bit of exercise, and there seems to always be broken glass at the top. So be careful, but definitely visit.
