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.

The underground railway located in the mine is the first attraction of this type in Poland, and fourth in Europie. In the past it used to serve the miners as their mean of transport of miners. Today tourist can seize the opportunity to have a ride. But before we get to the start of the round tour of the Museum. You can also see here different models of mining casings.

10. Centrum Historii Zajezdnia

The depot on Grabiszynska street in Wroclaw is an extraordinary place. A beautiful complex dating back to the end of the 19th century was a "witness" to the complex history of the city. The depot, just as the whole city, was left in ruins after the II World War, because of the siege of Festung Breslau. In 1945 the superpowers decided that Breslau would become Polish Wroclaw. "The Depot" History Centre is a modern historical exhibitions. The main core of The Depot is arrange in the old bus hall and will be devoted to the post-war history of Wroclaw, Lower Silesia and other regions that became a part of Poland in a result of II World War. The exposition was created on the basis of souvenirs, documents and photographs given by Wroclaw citizens. Thanks to that, people of Wroclaw metaphorically built the exhibition by themselves. The Depot also provide cross-cultural dialoque and reflections on the future of Europe.

I walked from Rynek because I like seeing different neighborhoods on the way. I’m so glad I did. I had read a book called Festung Breslau about the unique history of Wroclaw. This museum made the rich story of the city’s past come alive through interactive displays, video, and great visuals. I have been continually amazed at what good storytellers the Polish people are through their museums. Very well done and a great experience.
