What you'll see and do
Gross-Rosen Museum in Rogoznica
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 labor 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 labor 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
Next you will visit sad and at the same time mysterious legacy of World War II is the Complex in the Owl Mountains. The program known under the code name Riese, which means giant in German, was a huge construction endeavour conducted from Autumn 1943 by the famous paramilitary organization 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 program 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.

Very good trip to Gros-Rosen concentration camp and one part of the project Reise complex. Our driver Adam was Superbp, very knowledgeable about the history of both sites. Perfect trip, and very well done.

Do not hesitate to see these historical sights
This tour provides driving to the 2 destinations 1) KL Gross-Rosen 2)Project Reise at Owl mountains Driver does not do the touring at these destinations, but entrace tickets are included. KL Gross-Rosen - a “small” informative museum before tour of camp - staff at the camp did the touring of the whole camp which was very informative. - not as rushed as in an another well known Polish camp, infact no rushing at all - time to see and ask questions - restrooms at main building - good surface to walk on the camp tour, stairs only if basements or main building visited Project Riese - staff at the destination does the touring - helmets are compulsory to wear during tour, and are provided without extra cost. - flashlights are not provided, but an own would be good to have since not well lit at times - sturdy shoes and not slippery, since quite damp surface and metal stairs at one point. - steep metal stairs inside the tunnels had to be used at one point ( railing present, but damp) - not for ppl with fear of being underground or being in “tunnels” - “tunnels” are wide, but heigt is at times approx 170cm - small souvenir shop at ticketoffice (card payment possible) - a cafe/restaurant/restrooms at ticket office - stairs only inside tunnels - a short walk to tunnel entrance from ticketoffice Driver for this tour - prompt meeting at hotel - kind/ friendly with good english skills and knows a lot of Wroclaw and surroundings history - prompt pickup at the 2 destinations after the tours - possible lunch stop - true gentleman doing his best to make your day unforgettable - not compulsory, but a tip is much appreciated - Thank You for my experience

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Wroclaw: Gross-Rosen Camp & Nazi Tunnels of Project Riese: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Wroclaw.
How much does From Wroclaw: Gross-Rosen Camp & Nazi Tunnels of Project Riese cost?
+
Prices start at $154 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Wroclaw usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Wroclaw: Gross-Rosen Camp & Nazi Tunnels of Project Riese take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Wroclaw is not rushed.
Is From Wroclaw: Gross-Rosen Camp & Nazi Tunnels of Project Riese worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Wroclaw, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Wroclaw: Gross-Rosen Camp & Nazi Tunnels of Project Riese?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Wroclaw: Gross-Rosen Camp & Nazi Tunnels of Project Riese suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Wroclaw: Gross-Rosen Camp & Nazi Tunnels of Project Riese?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Wroclaw can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Wroclaw and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Wroclaw: Gross-Rosen Camp & Nazi Tunnels of Project Riese start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Wroclaw within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Wroclaw?
+
On Outty we rank every Wroclaw experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Town Wrocław Walking Tour, Wroclaw Old Town Guided Walking Tour, Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour from Wrocław. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Wroclaw?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Wroclaw?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
