I use no drugs so this is not a drug 'trip' report as it is often called on the net. Maybe 2 beers after food but that was all.

The base I used for initial entry was apparantly in Überlingen on the shore of Lake Constance known as code magnesit.
The Überlinger Stollen (Tunnels of Überlingen), also called Goldbacher Stollen, was built between 1944 and 1945 by the Nazis who forced some 800 inhabitants of KZ Dachau to work here. The tunnel was planned to host the production of several companies from Friedrichshafen, like Zeppelin, Maybach, Dornier and Zahnradfabrik. The construction was triggered by the bombardment of the industrial complex at Friedrichshafen on 28-APR-1944. The construction was done by forced laborers, some 800 inhabitants of the KZ Dachau who first had to construct shacks at Aufkirch from where they worked at the tunnels. The project hat the fictitious name Magnesit. The construction ended with the end of the war, in April 1945, when french troops arrived at the Lake Constanz. The tunnel was still incomplete at this time, so it was never used for production.
After the war the French army tried to destroy the tunnels, by blowing up the entrance area. This is not really easy to understand, as the tunnels were incomplete, never used for production or anything else, and actually too wet to be used. Probably they did it just for completeness' sake, because they blew up any Nazi construction they discovered. The collapsed cliff face produce a huge amount of debris, which was levelled and today forms a huge artificial terrace where now the camping ground is located. To make the tunnels accessible again, a new entrance tunnel had to be dug.
