Rather early rise and travel to Olsztyn – 3 hour train ride through the country to be precise – in order to reach Adolf Hitler’s Wolf’s Lair. At the Wolf’s Lair, we were shown around with a tour guide where we saw the remains of the bunkers that were controlled and operated by Hitler. We were able to walk along the tracks that Hitler himself walked along in order to get to his bunker and the buildings in which the decisions were made by Hitler and his men and also shown where the attempted assassination took place in 1944. Personally, we found this interesting however had a eerie atmosphere, especially when reminded that we were walking along the pathways that Adolf Hitler had trodden.
On the return back to Warsaw, we stopped back in the town of Olstzyn and entered into a local church. Due to being a Sunday afternoon, we all felt it was appropriate to pray as a whole with not only the Baradene Community but also with some nuns.
