Stalag Luft III – "The Great Escape"

A full-day journey to the site of Stalag Luft III near Żagań, the prisoner-of-war camp made famous by the "Great Escape" of March 1944.

Overview

We travel by private vehicle to the museum and memorial area near Żagań, where you can see reconstructed prisoner huts, sections of tunnel and exhibitions explaining the daily life of captured aircrew and the planning behind escape attempts.

What to expect

This route is best suited to aviation enthusiasts and guests with a particular interest in POW stories. It can sometimes be combined with other Lower Silesia sites over a multi-day itinerary.

This is a hosted experience in a private vehicle – not a large coach tour. At memorials and museums you walk independently at your own pace, with a map and suggested route, while we handle timings, entry and logistics.
