Your Itinerary

Memorial of the Berlin Wall

THE BEST place to understand what The Wall meant to Berlin.

Famous yet misinterpreted

Today commonly known for it's Sunday's flea market, this place shows the incessant attempts of East-Germany's rulers to establish "the perfect border".

Free Berlin - Authentische Radtouren

Our departure/ending point & bike rental

Humboldthain Flak Tower

Once a giant fortress and air-raid-shelter, it offers a fantastic panoramic view and insights into Nazi-architecture

Stiftung Neue Synagoge Berlin - Centrum Judaicum

The obvious and hidden traces of Jewish history in Berlin

Gunter Litfin Memorial

This original tower got preserved to remember Günter Litfin, the first person who got shot at The Wall.

Invalidenfriedhof

Cut in the middle by The Wall, this burial place was made for the heroes of German military history. Some of them are rather important to be remembered than honored though...

Topography of Terror

The former headquarters of the SS, Gestapo and Nazi-Intelligence

Fuhrerbunker

The place where Hitler hid during the last weeks of war and eventually committed suicide. All you can see today, is a parking lot. We explain why.

We are 8 friends that went on a private tour ”The Wall and Third Reich ”. We had a great time and Carl was a perfect guide! Such a nice guy, who shared so much knowledge and interesting storys with us and was very committed. It also felt safe all the time despite the traffic in some places. Some of us have been on bike tours before in several cities, and this was the best tour and guide so far!!

In some hours you learn a lot about the Wall and the meaning of it for the inhabitants of the DDR. Also some information about WWII, especially the holocaust monument.

Eckhart is an excellent guide. Experiencing Berlin on a bicycle. Learning that recent history has been carefully and sensitively preserved. Don't forget to bring a bottle of water.

My sister and I registered for the the tour The Wall / Third Reich. During 3 hours we discovered the history of the wall professionally guided by Judy. She told us everything in a clear and enthusiastic way, showed us very interesting places regarding the wall and tried to put everything in the historical context. Without this tour we would have missed quite a lot of interesting spots. Highly recommended! Thanks Judy! Hilde and Lut Florquin
