Museum

The Wolf’s Lair Museum is located in the forests of Gierłoż, Poland, and was once Adolf Hitler’s main military headquarters on the Eastern Front during World War II. Hidden deep in the Masurian woods, this heavily fortified complex served as the command center for Nazi operations from 1941 to 1944. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of bunkers, shelters, and command buildings that reflect the scale and secrecy of this site. Informational displays and guided tours provide historical context, including the failed assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944. The site blends natural surroundings with chilling wartime remnants, offering a unique and somber experience. It is a significant destination for those interested in military history and World War II.
