At the end of year 1943, in the Owl Mountains in Lower Silesia, Germans commenced the construction of Riese objects, including the Osówka complex. The work was conducted in many different places. Defensive systems on the ground and underground shafts were built. The work was interrupted at the beginning of 1945 due to the approaching Red Army and Polish Army. After the War, the object got plundered and closed. In 1995, it stated to be secured and adapted. On the 9th March the next year, the first tourists could see 650 metres of corridors and workings. Next, the western and northern parts were made accessible for tourists. Presently, it is possible to see 1500 metres of the underground corridors, workings, halls and bunkers. Each year, the object is gaining more and more attractiveness thanks to exhibitions, expositions, new lighting, and interactive gangways. In 2008, the reception complex Centre of Mysteries and Adventure was created. There you can find: the ticket box, a restaurant for 60 guests, an audiovisual room, car parks for 100 cars,..
