When you arrive, familiarize yourself with the Project Riese website. Learn how Project Riese was the code name for the impressive construction initiated by Nazi Germany between 1943 and 1945, consisting of seven underground structures located in the Owl Mountains and Książ Castle. Explore this remarkable network of underground caves, all in varying states of completion. See the Osowka site, which is called the Underground City.
Then you can stop for lunch or your driver will take you straight to the Gross-Rosen concentration camp, a German network of Nazi concentration camps built and operated during World War II. The main camp was located in the German village of Gross-Rosen.
At its peak in 1944, the Gross-Rosen complex had up to 100 sub-camps located in eastern Germany, Czechoslovakia and occupied Poland. The population of all Gross-Rosen camps at the time accounted for about 11% of the total number of prisoners incarcerated in the Nazi concentration camp system.
At the museum, you’ll watch a short film about the camp and then have up to 2 hours to see the exhibit inside and out before a driver takes you on the return trip.
