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.

The Lower Silesia Monument’s Miniatures Park has been established in Kowary in the neighborhood of a carpet factory. The goal is to create a euroregion information centre. Visitors of the Park have the unique opportunity to get familiar with monuments reproduced precisely in 1:25 scale.

This was our second miniature park we visited during that stay in Mysłakowice, and we are so glad, we visited them in that order. This is a propper park, when miniatures are done by hand, by the team of people who put every effort to make them as real, as similar to the original ones as possible - they don't use ready forms made of cheap plastic in China, as they do in other such places. We know that, cos we were allowed to have look into their workshop - it was nearly the closing time, and due to the rainy weather we were the only visitors at the time. The exhibition itself is located on a large parcel of land, bought from bancrupt carpet factory. The heritage buildings are not only carefully recreated in smaller scale, but also their original surroundings is also there, so Śnieżka mountain is a mountain, not only those famous buildings from the top of it, to be honest - large part of Karkonosze mountains is recreated there, with small streams, all mountain huts, and so on. Lower Silesia region was very lucky to have high density of palaces and manors - many of them are miniaturised here. Also castles from further afield. My favoured part was the whole main street from Jelenia Góra, where maintnance people change those little shop windows in line with real changes on that real street. Amazing. There's also a building, with some older models - this time without any settings around them, some of them slightly damaged by weather and then replaced outdoors by new models. Definitelly worth visit.

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.

My friend brought me here whilst I was staying with her and I am so glad she did. The entrance is situated in the middle of nowhere, only accessible by motor vehicle. There is a visitor's centre with a cafe and a ticket office. There is then a short walk up to the tunnel entrance, down a wooded boulevard. The tunnels are quite extensive and really impressive considering they were dug by hand. The tour guides were really enthusiastic and very knowledgeable and quite witty. If you are doing the tour then I recommend doing the "extreme tour"...it isn't that extreme but it is a lot of fun and makes it even more interesting. The whole place is was part of the Project Reise and is still a big mystery, a sense of wonder and awe, combined with a deep sense of tragedy and foreboding. I would recommend this for anyone in the area to visit.
