Dambusters tour

[viper]

We are planning to go over to the Alps this year and will probably take the hull ferry to rotterdam , cross into germany and down through bavaria. As we will be going via Dortmund area I thought It would be a good time to take in some or all 3 of the dams. Who's been and which ones are worth a visit . Are we just going to see a brick wall or are there visitor centres and nice village/country side .

thanks

Mohne dam worth a visit... Cafe there and visitor centre IIRC... Visited in 2004 on the way to Berlin and Auschwitz.

I'm still moved by Debs visit to the camp of death last year..................I must make the effort to show my respect before too long.

Somewhere everyone should visit... When I first got there in 2004 it was the week after Poland joined the EU so tourism was in its infancy....and the place was not geared up like it is now... Visited again and took SWMBO on another bike trip in 2010 and it was a lot busier...

Stayed both times in the centre of Krakow.. Hotel Royal... Handy for sightseeing and exploring

A friend of SWMBO lost most of his family to the camp.........................he told us that all those shoes did it to him when we were enjoying a bbq together....................at the time you could tell he was very moved.........................so when Deb posted her pics it really brought the horror home
