Miedzyrzecz Fortified Region: the Land of Bunkers and Bats

Miedzyrzecz Fortified Region on a detailed recreational map of this fascinating area of western Poland with underground military fortifications build by Germany in the late 1930s and extended in 1945, now part of one of Europe’™s largest bat reserves.The map covers an area of approximately 22.5 x 26km (14×17 miles), centred on a town of Miedzyrzecz, surrounded by numerous lakes. This compact area offers varied recreational possibilities: five hiking trails from 12km to 58km long, including part of the European E11 long-distance route; three kayaking routes from 10km to 58km; and seven cycle trails from 10km to 95km.The main attraction of the region are the old German fortifications, including a line of over 40 bunkers and a 35km network of underground tunnels, begun in the summer of 1935 and extended in late 1944. In winter the tunnels provide shelter for over 20,000 bats of 12 different species, one of the largest colonies in Europe. During the remaining seasons part of the fortifications is open to visitors.A wide range of symbols highlight the various trails and fortifications as well as local hotels, campsites and youth hostels; places of interest from old manor houses and churches to fortified bridges and water mills; petrol stations, and much more. *Map legend includes English.* Explanatory text on the reverse is in Polish only.
