Since there is a limited number of spots available for each guided tour, we kindly ask visitors to register in advance, either by email at information@dora.de or by phone at 03631/495820.

Tuesday – Sunday: daily at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm.

The memorial is closed on Mondays.

Since the temperatures in the tunnel system stay at approximately 8°C all year round, visitors should wear appropriately warm clothing, also in summer.

the period from 4 March until probably 15 April 2024 the tunnels will not be accessible due to construction work.
