Adolf Hitler’s top-secret Wolf’s Lair was one of the Führer’s headquarters in Gierłoż. It was built in the woods by Organisation Todt as part of Operation Barbarossa. It is in this location that Hitler would plot his invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. He spent half of the Second World War here.
Much of the barracks and bunkers were destroyed by the Germans themselves. That doesn’t stop visitors from venturing into the Mazurian forest to see where Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg tried to assassinate Hitler. Hitler’s bunker was, of course, the largest, but even it is an empty shell. The concrete towers and walkways may have become overgrown with moss and ferns, but nature cannot hide the history of the place.
Of the original 80 buildings and structures, only the former headquarters remains. It’s a small hotel and restaurant where you can stay and collect your thoughts and recollect the horrors of the place
