Berlin - Binz - Berlin | Sunday Tagesausflug
Details
Join us for a 1day tour from Berlin to the historical mega project Prora on the Baltic Sea (Binz/Ostsee) & back.
Quick history: Originally built during the Nazi era as part of the "Strength Through Joy" (KdF) program the Prora Project was designed as a massive seaside resort for German workers. The war halted construction, and after 1945 the complex was used by the Soviet and then East German military. Since reunification, it has been gradually renovated, some blocks serve as museums, hostels, and apartments, while others remain as historical ruins, offering a striking look into its layered past.
