WE hope you enjoyed the first week's instalment of our travels around the former Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR). We have had really positive feedback, thank you.

Over the next few weeks, we will continue sharing stories from our travels and if you’d like to read more you can via the Red Tourists blog available at www.redtourists.com.

This week we focus on the next part of our “Redcation,” where we visited the famous DDR planned city of Stalinstadt/Eisenhuttenstadt.
