The experience

You start from your hotel in Wroclaw and travel by private minivan through the Owl Mountains to Project Riese, one of the largest construction projects of the Third Reich. The drive takes about 1.5 hours. Once you arrive, you enter the secret tunnels built during WWII and explore the complex with a guide who explains the history and purpose of the underground network. Audio guides are available in English, Spanish and German if you prefer that format instead of a live guide.

Inside the tunnels, temperatures stay cold year-round, so bring a warm jacket. Wear comfortable shoes for walking through the passages. The tour lasts between 5 and 6 hours total, including travel time. Your guide or audio guide provides context as you move through the site. Bottled water is provided throughout the day. After the tour, you're driven back to your hotel in Wroclaw, arriving in the late afternoon.

The minivan is air-conditioned for comfort during the drive. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't arrange separate transport. Infants can sit on an adult's lap, and specialized infant seats are available if you request one when you book. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
