Was a nice tour in glorious weather around and on the Wartberg. The tower is accessible and offers a sweeping view of the surrounding area and Magdeburg. An empty service building left to nature and an entrance to the bunker, which has currently been sealed with welded steel plates, is a little extra highlight for every Lost Places fan...
