There is an upper and lower parking lot. There is a barrier at the upper parking lot. If the barrier is open, you can drive to the lower parking lot directly to the visitor center. If the barrier is closed, you must park at the top and walk to the visitor center.

It was truly beautiful and very informative. The German tour, which takes place on weekdays at 2:30 p.m., is very well done and very informative. The lady who led us through the tour told us many anecdotes from former soldiers stationed there, bringing history to life. The tour lasted a good two hours and was definitely worth it.
