Activity itinerary

Gross-Rosen Museum in Rogoznica

  • 2h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
This tour is designed to show you the complicated heritage of World War II and its lasting impact on the province. You will learn about the inhumane system of forced labour and human suffering in the former Concentration Camp of Gross Rosen, you will visit a mysterious complex of underground tunnels whose purpose still eludes historians to this day, and you will discover facts about German aristocrat Helmuth James von Moltke, who established an anti-Nazi resistance group which became an important symbol in Polish-German reconciliation. The tour starts in the state museum and a former German Nazi concentration camp of Gross Rosen. Originally a sub-camp of Sachsenhausen, from 1941 it became the largest fully autonomous camp in the Silesian province and was known for its deadly work conditions in the granite quarry. Find out about the German state's machine of brutal forced labour and human annihilation. Experience the sobering feeling of visiting the former SS Cantine building, field crematoria, and memorial site while taking some time to reflect upon approximately 40,000 victims of Nazi terror.

Underground Town Osowka

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Next you will visit sad and at the same time mysterious legacy of World War II is the Complex in the Owl Mountains. The programme known under the code name Riese, which means giant in German, was a huge construction endeavour conducted from Autumn 1943 by the famous paramilitary organisation Todt. The inmates, mainly from the Gross Rosen camp, worked in deadly conditions excavating the system of tunnels and shafts. Visit a part of the programme in Walim, enter into the tunnels, find out about potential hypotheses of its purpose, see the guard rooms and spacious hall excavated in stone. Please note that there is a stable temperature of approx. 5-7 degrees Celsius and humidity of 98% through the whole year inside the tunnels, so please do not forget to take closed shoes and warm clothes with you. The visit in the complex takes approximately 1 hour.
