Church of Peace, Swidnica (Kosciol Pokoju w Swidnicy)

Reviewed By 172matthiasw - Geneva, Switzerland

The largest timber wooden church in Europe with a spectacular Baroque style interior, beautiful painted ceilings (parts of the upper ranks have been in renovation back then). It is a beat off the beaten path, but if you have a car it is not that far away from Wroclaw which is a nice place to stop as well.

Really interesting museum for vintage computer and arcade games. We visited on a Sunday morning so also had a pleasant experience walking through the open air market for locals to reach the venue. A journey through the ages with capability of playing games such as Pong, Street Fighter 2, Duke Nukem, Sensible Soccer and Mario Kart 64, which were personal indicators of my misspent youth. Fascinating to see things like ‘Game and Watch’ and ‘Aaaaghh’, which in the latter case haven’t seen for 30 odd years! Cheap entry, ‘free’ credits, great visit.

There are few of these panoramas left in the world and seeing this amazing piece of history come to life through the display and narration offers a terrific peek into Polish history. Do not miss this if you happen to be in Wroclaw!

Gold Mine

Reviewed By MartinLPrague - Prague, Czech Republic

We enjoyed the tour, learned some interesting facts about the mine (e.g., the gold price dropped 12 times after conquering the New World) and how the gold was produced. Very enjoyable to go by local mine train, feeling like in the movie :-) Cheap price, the tour took 80 minutes. A pity they do not regularly offer tours in English or Czech, we understood only half of information in Polish (the guy was very funny and we would love to fully understand more jokes :-)

Arado – Zaginione Laboratorium Hitlera

Reviewed By endrju_74 - Ipswich, United Kingdom

So, the word Arado refers to German project run to design and produce jet planes. It all started in 1917 and hugely accelerated when Hitler got into power - from that moment they concentrated on war aircraft, still with jet engines. It was all going good, manufacturers were going from strenght to strenght, till Nazi Germany troops started loosing on both fronts, and the allied forces started their carpet bombings, which put in danger the whole project. So they moved their factories to Kamienna Góra (Landeshut during German times), as this town was out of the range of allied planes and Germans never thought they would loose control over the town after the war. So they digged many underground corridors and halls to accommodate factories form other parts of their country. The plan was good, but not so much, as shortly Soviet and Polish troop took over this area, and new post WWII borders were designed in a way , that all these territory found itself under Polish administration. And former underground constructions were for many years closed for public, and treated as military areas. Only recently this place, now called simply Arado has become latest adition to Dolny Śląsk tourist attractions. Very small car park in front of the pavillion. Ticket office in new concrete WWI stylised block. Guided tour only. Some of their staff are dressed in Nazi German troops uniforms and they do suddenly appear in the middle of the tour, scaring people out, checking documents and so on, to give tourists real WWII experience. Definitely a must see. I would recommend after visiting thi place a short tour in the park just above Arado, where there's a lot of armament on display, randomly scattered by the paths, to extend the excitement.
