Echoes of the Past
Deep within the serene woods surrounding Berlin, the remnants of a turbulent past still whisper their tales. These forests, now peaceful, conceal secrets and relics from the Second World War, drawing history enthusiasts and adventurers alike.
The Hidden Battlefield
The forests of Berlin, particularly around the areas like Halbe and the Murellenschlucht und Schanzenwald, are rich with relics from the final days of World War II.
