Tour 33 - sightseeing transfer from Prague to Nuremberg via Flossenburg
Flossenburg was a WWII Nazi concentration camp built in May 1938 by the SS MEAO (Main Economic and Administrative Office). It was built near the Czech border close to the granite mines. Originally the camp was built as a work station for prisoners. Its original idea was not the typical humilation like in the other extermination concentration camps e.g. Auschwitz, Treblinka or Buchenwald. The prison was originally intended for criminal and asocial prisoners. The camp was liberated by the US forces in April 1945. Around 30000 people died in the Flossenburg concentration camp, over 100 000 prisoners passed through the gates of the camp.
The stop in Flossenburg can include visit of the camp as well as the adjacent town. We often combine the trip to Flossenburg with a side trip to Pilsen to maximize the day travel experience.
