Über
Schnelle Fakten: About 150 US prisoners of war stayed here during World War II, and their life here was actually very harsh. The plaque features remains of an underground prison cell that can be viewed and tells powerful historical stories.
Highlights: The above-ground and underground prison cells are impressive. Inside the ground, you can see small caves where soldiers were locked up. What makes the place special is the collection of plywood posters that tell the soldiers' stories through photos and writings.
Insidertipps
- Wear shoes suitable for a leisurely walk and humid conditions.
- The best photos come near the historical information boards where the light is dim and atmospheric.
- Bring a soft flashlight to explore the underground cell.
- Avoid peak hours in the afternoon to avoid crowds and have a peaceful experience.
