Ravensbruck

Post by sbowron » 29 Sep 2006 19:18

Hello everybody. I am visiting Berlin in October and am thinking of visiting Ravensbruck. Does anyone know if there are coach trips for visitors from the city? Or what is the best way of getting there by public transport? I've been on to the Ravensbruck website which informs you there are trains to Furstenburg/Havel from Berlin Zoo station but on the German railways website there seems to be several stations at Furstenburg/Havel. And you seem to need to change trains from Berlin Zoo. What is the best way of doing it?

Hi sbowron,
Only "Fürstenberg (Havel)" is a train station, "Fürstenberg (Havel) XXX" are bus stops (e.g. "Fürstenberg (Havel) Bahnhof" is the bus stop in front of the station).

Berlin got a real main station this year, as a result the stations Zoo and Ostbahnhof have lost their "semi main station" status. Use the main station (formerly Lehrter Bahnhof) instead.

Regards
Mark
