Jarek was our guide for the day. He arrived promptly and was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a great day from start to finish. The Church of Peace was a real surprise and well worth a visit to see this amazing structure built from oak and wattle and daub.
Next was the Underground City code named Riese meaning giant. A phenomenal piece of unfinished engineering that was Hitlers final venture. It was chilling imagining the number of forced Labour men and women brought in to get this project off the ground. Fortunately our audio guides were excellent but the Polish guide very unfriendly. It was so well hidden in the mountains. Quite amazing.
We wanted to visit the Bhuddist Monastery at Darmskow but heavy snowfall made the road to the monastery impassable. Nonetheless we had an absolutely breathtaking ride though the snow lined forests. A magical journey.
Thank you Jarek for a truly memorable day.
