Project Riese

Project Riese is the codename for a large construction project carried out by Nazi Germany between 1943 and 1945. It included seven underground structures built at Książ Castle and in the Owl Mountains in Lower Silesia, an area that was part of Nazi Germany at the time and is now in Poland. For visitors, it offers a focused historical outing linked to wartime underground construction.

Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:

• traces of the seven underground structures associated with the project, spread between Książ Castle and the Owl Mountains in Lower Silesia;
• a strong historical context tied to Nazi Germany’s construction efforts from 1943 to 1945;
• a visit that connects two specific settings: the castle area at Książ and the mountain landscape of the Owl Mountains.

If you plan a visit, it is worth checking the weather and wearing comfortable shoes, especially if you want to combine the castle area with the mountain surroundings. This is a good choice for travelers interested in wartime history, underground sites, and a more focused sightseeing trip.
