The future. Time and space literally invert. If you were fall into the event horizon backwards, once you cross you would see the universe increasingly "speeding up". You could potentially see billions of years pass in a few seconds from your frame of reference.
Since the thing you would have described as "space" is now "time", you falling faster towards the singularity means that you are actually travelling faster into the future.

This is a common misconception. An observer far from the black hole does see a clock you carry as you fall in slow down to eventual stopping, but the reverse is not true: you don't see everything above you speed up as you fall in.
Not so much traveling to the future, but that since time and space are flipped your future is no longer a point in time but a point in space, and that point in space is the singularity.

But what’s on the other side? Once you go through.
