This was simply great. Actually less a walk (km ..) than a guided tout with lots of historical details and explanation of the artwork of the place in general and the individual pieces of art. Great!!

Die Führung von Olga war sehr informativ, detailliert und gut vorbereitet. Für alle Geschichtsinteressierte mit Interesse an historischen Orten und Denkmälern sehr zu empfehlen. Olga selbst war auch sehr nett und hat die Führung sogar durchgeführt obwohl ich die einzige Teilnehmerin war! Es war also eine sehr gute"Privatführung".

The tour was amazing! We were lucky to have a private tour with her. I was not expecting a very nice discussion about the memorial and the Soviet Union in general. Olga is super friendly and very well prepared for the tour - with figures and extra information about the memorial. I was surprised. The place is so beautiful but she also brought the idea of the importance to think about the past and see with critical eyes the situation after the 2nd world / patriotic war. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun! I really recommend it :)
