  • I loved this Place - so cool to take a step back into History. So nice to see it preserved. Fun place to visit. The area is really beautiful. If you read book or watched a few U-Boot Movies most notable Das Boot. You can get a sense of how it must have been to live in one of these U-Boot. Especially under War times conditions. The where pretty sophisticated for the time - obviously U-Boots have come a long way since than. If you are in the area you should visit this Museum especially if you are a history buff. Also your visits helps in maintaining this Museum so others can enjoy it hopefully for many years to come. Worth a visit
  • An amazing experience. You can enter one end, walk through, and exit the other. Ticket costs a small fee, from the center against the street. Very interesting to see. Highly recommended.
  • German U-boat, later used by the Norwegian navy after WW2 and returned back to Germany in the 1970s. Nice experience to walk through, see and imagine people living in it. Not very long and can be completed in an hour easily.
  • It’s an old submarine, that is open for a visit, as a museum. It’s not very big, but there are several sections. Its quite interesting to see how the submarine is designed, how people serve there, where they slept, ate, shower. Horrible to imagine, that in WW2 for many this kind of submarines became a grave.
  • Nice submarine with interesting story. The sub is much smaller than the one in Hamburg, only one deck. 20-30 minutes to walk through. Periscope could be operational...
