One of the Best Places To Visits in Jugowice Despite the language barrier and some infrastructure limitations, Riese - Włodarz offers a worthwhile and immersive historical experience. Be prepared for rugged conditions and a potentially crowded environment, but the unique tunnel exploration and boat ride make it a memorable visit. Tours are primarily in Polish, so non-Polish speakers should research beforehand or use translation tools. Dress warmly and wear appropriate footwear due to cold, humid, and wet conditions inside. Be aware of potentially difficult terrain and limited accessibility for disabled visitors. "A much better experience... Our guide was fantastic and the tunnel experience was authentic and atmospheric." "Consider it a work in progress, but even now, it's still very much worth a visit." "They just run their own tourism in Poland by not having English speaking tours or audio." "Very good experience, the place was full of history and really intriguing, but the tour is only made in Polish." "Much nicer, more authentic than Osowka, really cool although they don't speak English but you can get your information online" Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. This was a very interesting experience. The tour lasts one hour (we had to wait 35 minutes for our time slot) and begins with a 10-minute video, albeit in Polish. This is not suitable for disabled visitors or those who find it difficult to walk as the surfaces inside the complex were very muddy, wet, and uneven. There were also steep stairs to climb up and down as well as a rather small wobbly boat to get in and out of. It is a great shame that they don't offer any English-speaking tour (not even once or twice a day) as this is clearly a popular tourist attraction. The guide we had was able to speak English so this would be possible to implement. They also need to improve the infrastructure. The road into the attraction was incredibly bumpy, and parking was difficult to find. Also, the toilets are stinky portaloos. So it's clear there is still a lot of work to do. Consider it a work in progress, but even now, it's still very much worth a visit. Absolutely amazing and must see. Not only for explorers and WWII enthusiasts but for everyone to remember the arthrocentesis and mass murderers the Germans committed. Must see. Much nicer, more authentic than Osowka, really cool although they don't speak English but you can get your information online We were there 4 years ago and it was interesting tour, duration around 1 hour, we visited unfinished parts as well as finished parts of the mines. The guide shared a lot of information and it was impressive. Unfortunately it was 4 years ago. Visited again few days ago and it was like conveyor - quick tour through unfinished parts only, guide was bored and constantly checking time, in half an hour we were through without visiting the finished parts. Total disappointment! Slightly out of the way and not as developed as Osowka but a much better experience. Our guide was fantastic and the tunnel experience was authentic and atmospheric. Well worth the effort. Nice and friendly introduction to the Riese complex. Lacks unfortunately proper English info and outside area could do with an update. Inside has nice boatride. Bar/restaurant associated. This was possibly the best of the 3 even though there was no English audio at all, however there's only 5 people at a time going down. You do get to take the boat through this one but honestly they just run their own tourism in Poland by not having English speaking tours or audio. I even emailed them and received no response at all! I mean it's just embarrassing for Poland because soo many more people would probably visit if they stepped up their tourism in the remote areas! All of the hotels around you are affected by you not marketing to Western tourist with English speaking tours! It's very cold inside the caves so bring something warm. Very good experience, the place was full of history and really intriguing, but the tour is only made in Polish. Worth a visit. Interesting place. Price around 10€. Tours are organized every 30 minutes. Tour takes an hour. Free parking. Dress appropriately because it’s cold, humid and wet inside. Guides speak in polish so google before if you don’t speak polish. Thanks for the great excursion. It was very interesting! Here is a very good guide! I recommend this place to visit :) Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
