Dunkirk: Good place for a day to visit if
you are a war buff like me. My friends and I visited in Sep 2017 and we
thought the recently opened war museum was very good. Some great
artifacts on display.
Normandy: What a place. Some friends and I visited the D Day landings first of all in 2012 and thought it was that good we decided to go back a few years later. So much can be said about Normandy and what took place there in June 1944. The Atlantic wall consisting of the German gun Emplacements was a wow moment for me. So thick and fortified found all along the French coast was amazing. The beaches when you stand and think of what happened there all them years ago is very moving and fill you with dread and wonder at the same time. Outstanding place to visit with so many Museums. Just some to mention, Pegasus Bridge museum, Dead mans corner, St Mere Eglise museum to name but a few. Fantastic.
Berg hog and Eagles nest: One of the most beautiful parts of the world I have been to but with such a dark recent past. With the scenery you can see why Adolf Hitler fell in love with the Obersalzburg. Many of his decisions were made at the Berghof, which apart from a retaining wall only visible today, is still an eiery place to visit. The Eagles nest is a must see for any war enthusiast. It is aptly named where it is situated and when I and some friends went our tour guide told us we must have got the best day of the year when we went. 10 out of 10. A must see. D.Hill
