Wow, this place is amazing and the price is just right!! If you are interested in WWII then you have to visit!
We drove to Bitch from Frankfurt specifically for this place and were not disappointed. What an amazing structure...and, to consider it was built in the 1930's.
The Simserhof is a fortification build on the French/German border to protect the French from the soon-to-be invading Germans. I don't want to go into too much detail here, you will learn all bout it once you take the tour.
The facility is HUGE! Almost all of it is underground, making this a real fun tour. Our guide was French and spoke some English. She struggled at times but took it all in stride and was very informative. We expected maybe a 1 hour tour or so. This thing took over 3 hours, and I say that in a good way. You will get to tour 2 parts of the bunker and watch a film on the development of the bunker, the politics surrounding its creation, and the history. All of that for only 10 Euro, what a steal!
Bring a jacket, hat and gloves. Trust me, you will need them. I don't care if it is 80 degrees outside, bring them! The inside of the bunker is very cold. You can thank me later! read more
