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.

Park Miniatur Zabytkow Dolnego Slaska

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.

Underground Town Osowka

Reviewed By ropentastones - St Helens, United Kingdom

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.
