Wolf’s Lair Tour from Gdansk

Step into the dense forests near Kętrzyn (formerly Rastenburg), where the Wolf’s Lair, Adolf Hitler’s covert military headquarters, was constructed during World War II. Surrounded by the natural defenses of the Great Masurian Lakes, this location was chosen for its strategic importance and secrecy. Even during the war, local residents and the intelligence services of both the Soviets and the Allies were unaware of its existence.

Explore the haunting ruins of this once highly secretive complex, including Hitler’s bunker, the largest structure on the site, and Martin Bormann’s bunker. Wander through the remnants of the Third Reich Security Service buildings, anti-aircraft shelters, and fragments of the barrack where Claus von Stauffenberg attempted his failed assassination of Hitler on July 20, 1944. Relive the dramatic events of that fateful day and learn how the assassination plot unfolded, only for Hitler to escape with minor injuries.

Guided by a professional local expert, the tour brings history to life with detailed accounts of the site’s construction, its use during the war, and its eventual destruction. As you walk through the ruins, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of the Nazi command and the events that shaped the course of World War II.

The tour includes some free time for lunch, providing a moment to reflect on the historical significance of the site. This full-day experience is a must for anyone passionate about history and the complex narratives of World War II.
