Visit vast concrete housing estate areas, a socialistic district build on a meadow, a Cold War shelter, an abandoned magnesite factory and a railway tunnel, neighborhoods of rich and poor, a local pub, former barracks, a brewery and a swimming pool transformed intoa  cultural venue and many unique places. Local insights guaranteed!
