Coinciding with the liberation of Colditz in 1945, our Remembrance Tour provides an opportunity to pay respects to all who were imprisoned there. Regarded by the Germans as escape-proof, medieval Colditz Castle has become a by-word for endurance. Still referred to as the ‘naughty boys’ camp’, Colditz continues to exude the haunting atmosphere of its darkest days.

Highlights include:
  • Exclusive tour of Colditz Castle with a member of the Colditz Society, hear stories of imaginative escape attempts
  • Unforgettable celebratory dinner in Colditz Castle (subject to Castle authority’s approval)
  • Dresden guided tour
  • Visit Schloss Podelwitz with its unique collection of Colditz and East German memorabilia
