Birkenau was the new camp.
They would get there by foot. At the time that they would travel from one to the other, it would be during the construction phase, ie. when they were still building brick buildings and the railway line would not go all of the way into Birkenau, it would still be uninhabitted. Their first impression would be that it was boring, there would have been a large field with some buildings on it and a tree line in the distance.
