A very cool historical place that will definitely broaden your horizons. - The walking trail is 1.8 km long and there is a lot to see. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful, clean and comfortable to walk around. I also took the audio guide which cost 10 zlotys. Admission for two adults was 65 zlotys. We walked very leisurely and looked around every nook and it took 2 hours.

Lost Place of History - Lost places in the woods. History of the past and horner to Staufenberg. Come and walk there. Take time to walk there with an audioguide or an personal tour

Great trip - Piotr picked us on time and was full on knowledge on both Poland and Wolf's Lair. He was able to answer all of our questions and we would love to have him guide us should we be able to get back to Poland.

Excellent guide & incredible excursion. - Mr. Piotr served as both driver and on-site tour guide. He provided a clean, comfortable, and stylish carriage. Also, he was a safe and conscientious driver. During the drive (there and back) he provided elaborate and relevant information and details which enhanced the on-site experience of the Wolf’s lair as well as the areas that we drove through along the route. The information and analysis that he provided during the on-site portion of the tour was second-to-none! Military history is one of my primary requirements when traveling and Mr. Piotr’s vast knowledge of the subject-matter and the subsequent/relevant history during the decades that have passed since the end of WWII made his tour exceptionally excellent!

not much left of the Wolfsschanze - Unfortunately, there isn't really much left that is worth seeing ;( If you want to explore the whole complex, you need to bring a lot of time and good walking shoes ;) Signs on each building give information about what it was.
