Schloss Colditz or Oflag IVc - probably the best known of the POW camps of WW2. It is situated on the edge of town on a hill of rock, and was said to be the most secure of the prisons with high walls and long drops.

Your tour will include stories of daring and outmost cheek, you will see items such as a wooden type writer, a hidden radio and many other incredible inventions that enabled allied communication and escape bids to succeed.

You will see the parade ground and go inside buildings to see evidence of tunnels and artifacts left behind.

There are also many momentos and donated items on display in different areas.
