Wrocław – the city of five rivers
You will start your guided tour from Ostrów Tumski. This is the oldest part of Wrocław, surrounded by the waters of the Odra River.

Then we will take you to Głuszyca, where the Underground City of Osówka is located. This is one of the largest systems of underground corridors and halls built by the forced labourers and prisoners of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp as part of the Riese project (German term for Giant). It was planned to be one of Adolf Hitler’s headquarters. After sightseeing, you will return to Wrocław.
