IFD:OutsideMobile/Buchenwald

From Medien Wiki

Weimar Buchenwald, Ettersberg, Glockenturm, Straße der Nationen

We will have a couple of minutes (~30 mins) for everyone to explore the Gedenkstätte individually. There is an official Audio-Guide app in the iOS AppStore (see above), Android users may rent an iPod at the entrance (more than 3,- € IIRC). Then we'll take a look at the Glockenturm monument and the »Straße der Nationen« south of the camp. We will cross a former military area walking down a sunny hill towards the next bus station or the Hauptbahnhof.

While there is a lot to see at the Gedenkstätte itself, this won't be our major stop. The main focus is the Glockenturm monument and the way down to Weimar.
