You will have the opportunity to admire the authentic Old Town and walk along original cobblestone streets. We will also pay a visit to Schindler’s Factory.

Auschwitz sightseeing lasts 3,5 hours and then you will continue your journey to Wroclaw. Accommodation in Wroclaw.

Day 4: Riese Complex
A day to explore the Owl Mountains, the place of extensive Nazi activity during the World War II. Between 1943 and 1945 the Nazis created there Riese (Giant) Complex which consisted of underground tunnels and passages. It was a secret project and its destiny is still a mystery. The hypothesis say that it was supposed to be a factory of secret weapons, Hitler’s headquarters or even nuclear laboratory. This huge project has never been finished and nowadays few kilometers of tunnels are open for visitors. You will visit the underground city of Gluszyca–Osowka complex located 15 km from Walbrzych. In the evening you will take a walk with a private guide around Wroclaw Old Town. Dinner and overnight in Wroclaw.

Day 5: Miedzyrzecz Reinforced Region
In the morning you will proceed toward Miedzyrzecz Reinforced Region. It was built in 1936-1940 by the Germans to defend the Third Reich. You will find there a number of concrete bunkers with steel domes connected by system of underground tunnels and so called dragon teeth (the anti-tank obstacles). It’s definitely one of Europe’s most interesting monument of military architecture of the 20th century.
You will spend the evening in Poznan, the capital of the province of Greater Poland.

Day 6: Warsaw
Traveling east we head for Warsaw, the capital of Poland. It is often called the city of contrasts and paradoxes. Nearly the entire Old Town was wiped out during the Nazi occupation and then rebuilt with the efforts of all Poles. Our local guide will take you around the capital giving a general idea of the city. Not only you will visit the old town and Lazienki Royal Park, but also the area of former Jewish Ghetto. During free afternoon we recommend that you visit the Museum of Warsaw Uprising.

Hitler spent around 800 days there between 1941 and 1944. The fortress is hidden in the forest and contains 80 buildings of which 50 are concrete bunkers.
