Getting there

The fastest and most efficient way to reach Wolf’s Lair from Gdańsk is in a hire car, and SatNav and/or a competent map reader are all you’ll need to make the 230km journey in about three and a half hours. You’ll need to be following a south easterly direction to the town of Kętrzyn, and from here head eight kilometres east to Gierłoż. Wolf’s Lair lies in the forest ahead.  Travelling by public transport presents more of a challenge. Buses depart from Gdańsk Bus Station each day at 06:40 and arrive in Kętrzyn at 12:10. From here you can take one of the infrequent buses that run to Gierłoż, or else just flag a cab.
