Most bunkers here were exploded by the SS in early 1945 but the historical significance of this location is hard to exaggerate

Wolfsschanze" was the codename of one of the Fuhrer headquarters in Europe and stood near Kętrzyn, in northeast Poland. Plans for the construction of this bunker complex was made in the autumn of 1940. About 2,000 persons worked and lived here in the period 1941-1944. The "Wolfsschanze" became famous because of the failed assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler at this place on 20 July 1944. The dictator was only slightly wounded.

A place with a lot of history, make sure you visit this place with a guide! If you have a large group, you can afford the guide at reasonable price. Shows how Hitler has managed his work from this headquarters and how he has simply destroyed his bunkers once he got rid of this place.

A place I have wanted to travel to for many years and I was not disappointed. A little hard to get here, train from Warsaw to Olzny and then a hire car, but totally worth it.Stay overnight on site at the hotel so that you can truly experience the eery silence of this place by yourself.

Important historic place, very well described so you can visit even without a guide. A bit disappointing you can’t actually walk inside the bunkers. Cheap entrance tickets. Beware of mosquitoes!

Id recommend it to everyone. Just a tip: get a guide. It doesnt cost much (80 zloties per group up to 10 peoplehowever you wont learn anything if you go on your own, as there isnt almost any explanation about the place.

It is the ruined site of Adolf Hitlers war-time headquarters from June 1941 to Jan 1945 during the WW II. There are ruins of about fifty bunkers and heavy structures that were built during that period over an area of around 7 square km in Masurian Lake region in Poland. The ruins are noteworthy to visit as many crucial decisions were taken here, and a major assassination attempt were carried out here to kill Adolf Hitler.

An amazing piece of world history! An interesting but very sobering reminder of how degenerate humans were and unfortunately still are. Having said that it is worth going to see. My sister and I stayed in Ketrzyn at Pensjonat Tom...a nice place to stay😊. We caught the bus by the train station for about a 30 minute ride to the Wolfs lair. We had to call for a taxi to get back to town as by the time we were finished the busses had stopped running. So...if youare.in the northeastern part of Poland this place is a must see. We need to remember and learn a lesson or 2 from history.

Located in a beautiful Forrest the trail takes you past the ruins of Hitlers bunker and fortified buildings. They are slightly overgrown giving an extra erie vibe to the tour. Definitely recommend.

Interesting place to visit but theres close to zero information in English and only sparse information in Polish and German. Its probably worth it to get a guide. There is minimal reconstruction so you see the base in its demolished state, very much as the Germans left it. You cant go into the collapsed bunkers beyond their entrance. Its worth visiting for the sites importance if you are interested in WWII. This was the main residence of Hitler and his command for more than 3 years during the Eastern campaign and was the site of the assassination attempt. However dont expect to see much beyond empty, destroyed building and bunkers. Theres one display of weaponry and another of element from the Warsaw uprising, but thats about it for exhibits.

Despite that there are almost only a ruins here, its really nice and interesting place. Its a quiet forest and also historical site which makes it good to spend some time walking here. Just dont make a mistake like me: you should probably get a guide. Because I didnt, and theres not much information written there, so I probably missed a lot...

Very recommended visit, you will see SS military offices, Hitlers bunker and other different bunkers in the middle of the wood. Apart from the main part of the attraction I recommend to go to the other part of the bunkers, just in front as is wilder and is nobody there, looks more authentic. Very important, before you start I recommend you to do picture of the map of but the guide, otherwise you wont understand anything as there are no panels explaining what is each building, just the numbers.

Interesting historical sightseeing. Some of the bunkers one can see even from the inside. The place gets better every year. Mosquitoes feel here like home, which is very accurate, since something sinister and universally hated should reside in those gloomy woods after Hitler left

So amazing. Would be great if the gov would try to preserve it somehow for more years to come. There is another place near there Mamerki. They have ALL perfectly preserved huge bunkers. Worth seeing. Just take a flash light and mosquito repellent :)

Watch for hazards in the building as well as the ground that you walk. There are metal bars, sharp rocks on the grounds, especially concerning during fall with leaves. Bring good shoes, be respectful and come to learn, so history is not repeated.

I can really recommend this place for anyone who is interested in history. However, its very important to have a trip with a guide to make this clumps of rock and concrete come to life.
