Your stay at the Point Alpha Memorial<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Book a guided tour before your visit. Please inform us about your desired day and our visitor service will arrange an individual time with you. Unfortunately, there are no regular open-tours that you can spontaneously take part in at the site. It is always of course possible to visit the memorial without a guide. Modern media-stations will provide you with all the explanatory information you need during your tour. To visit the inside of the Wiesenfeld Tower, please book a guided tour. Without a guided tour, you can always view the tower from the outside.<\/p>\n

After arrival from the directions of Geisa (Thuringia) or Rasdorf (Hesse), there are sufficient parking spaces available. Two parking areas are available: at the entrance to the House on the Border, and at the entrance to the U.S.\u00a0 Camp. Here you will also find the restroom facilities. If you arrive with an electric vehicle, you have the possibility to charge it at the e-charging station at the U.S.\u00a0Camp.<\/p>\n

Following your sightseeing tour, you can stop for refreshments at the Black Horse Inn at the U.S.\u00a0 Camp.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#f9f9f9″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” enable_shape_divider=”true” shape_divider_position=”both” shape_divider_height=”50″ bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”tilt_alt”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][tabbed_section style=”minimal_flexible” tab_color=”Accent-Color” icon_size=”24″][tab icon_family=”fontawesome” title=”Tickets” id=”1617259044503-1″ tab_id=”1617259044504-9″ icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-ticket”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” el_id=”eintrisspreise”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_woo_products product_type=”all” category=”workshop-tickets,tageskarten,fuehrungen,zeitzeugengespraeche” columns=”dynamic” flickity_mobile_column_width=”100%” orderby=”menu_order” order=”ASC” pagination=”1″ per_page=”16″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/tab][tab icon_family=”fontawesome” title=”Business Hours” id=”1617259044556-0″ tab_id=”1617259044557-5″ icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-clock-o”][nectar_global_section id=”17634″][\/tab][tab icon_family=”fontawesome” title=”Black Horse Inn” id=”1617259044581-2″ tab_id=”1617259044581-0″ icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-cutlery”][nectar_global_section id=”17605″][\/tab][tab icon_family=”fontawesome” title=”Parking” id=”1617259044598-7″ tab_id=”1617259044599-4″ icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-car”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”9\/12″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_global_section id=”17691″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”3\/12″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]
