"Blood Road"
Access road to the camp built by prisoners. From mid-1938 to late fall 1939, prisoners were forced to build an approximately five-kilometer-long connection from the Weimar-Ramsla state road to the concentration camp along the route of an old forest road. The prisoners called it "Blood Road." Part of the concrete road has been preserved in its original form."
