Now you can just walk in and out, 85 years ago you didn't even dare to come close. A lasting testimony to the Nazi horror during the Second World War.

If you pass here by bike, make sure you take the high (more southern) lane and not the one closest to the water, 1 because you might disturb the rowers' coaches or 2 if you suddenly have to go south on your route you will have to climb the embankment to the high lane... like me and I wasn't alone judging by the embankment :)
