Why go
The Międzyrzecz Fortified Region is one of the largest military underground systems in the world, a network of galleries, narrow-gauge railways and bunkers built by Germany in the 1930s to guard its eastern border. Today guided routes lead through the damp, echoing tunnels and the armoured works above.
