Wolfs Lair - Hitler's headquarters – Gierłoż
Hitler's headquarters at Gierłoż known as the Wolf's Lair is one of the most sinister places in the region, but it attracts many tourists because of its legendary climate. The fortress is composed of 80 buildings, 50 of them are bunkers. The headquarters had its own electric power generator, railway station and an air -strip. Quarters of the top Nazi officials as well as casino and cinema were located in the central part of the compound. The whole area was camouflaged, protected by wire entanglements and mine fields. Retreating in 1945, the Germans dynamited the fortress. Its ruins are available for visitors.
Longest defensive system worldwide – Międzyrzecz Fortified Region

Bunkers with steel tops are interconnected by underground corridors and form what is believed to be the longest defensive system worldwide. Guided tours through the underground tunnels are available. Thanks to its microclimate it has become a bat reserve, Nietoperek that offers shelter to approximately 30,000 bats.
Mysterious subterranean city - Osówka and Walim

Approximately 1,700 meters of a subterranean trail consisting of passages and caverns can be visited. An exhibition related to Hitler's various headquarters and the Third Reich's subterranean factories of weaponry was arranged under the ground.
