Between 1961 and 1982 more than 70 escape tunnels were initiated to help GDR citizens flee under the Berlin wall from East to West. On the "Underground to Freedom" tour from Berliner Unterwelten e. V., we will visit an original tunnel from 1970/71 eight meters below ground, see full-scale tunnel replicas and hear about both failed tunnel projects and some of the most successful escape missions from the time of the Berlin Wall.
Thanks to our MiningForum partner VBGU (Verband Bergbau, Geologie und Umwelt e.V.) for organizing this fascinating excursion.
