Germany | Berlin | Devil's Mountain.

This is possibly one of the coolest and most curious places I have had the chance to visit.

Teufelsberg sits atop a man made hill just outside of Berlin (former West Berlin). The hill is made from an estimated 400,000 buildings destroyed during the Second World War. What is so odd about this place is not the hill itself but the Nazi Tech training camp below. It was so hard to destroy, the Allies decided to bury it instead.

It is now the home to an abandon listening station set up by the US National Security Agency in the late 50's to listen to Soviet, East German and other Warsaw Pact nations military traffic.
