I made an overnight at one near Sobibor which was very basic and no English spoken at all......which proved to be fun when I tried to get some kind of a meal! Just pointed to photographs on the wall of what I wanted!

There's a cracking little fish 'restaurant' just off the main road from Wlodawa to Lublin (on the right a bit before the turning on the left to get to Sobibor if you're coming from Wlodawa). "Bar pod Samolotem", hard to miss: it's got a twin engined turboprop parked in the garden (which is painted purple and pink).

As you probably gathered I have a keen interest in WW2 history and visit any related sites. Not everyone's idea of a holiday I know, but I am of an age where WW2 history was never taught at School and also rarely discussed.



If you are also interested in more modern military history , you can visit Borno Sullinowo... It a Russian miliary camp , used for housing mobile nuclear missile forces...Its quite near me...

A lot of the stuff above ground has been destroyed , but there are miles of underground bunkers to explore...

Dont go alone tho , and take some rope and a pair of wellies there is some flooding in parts , and i did hear a German tourist fell down an unseen shaft under the water and drowned...

Purple and Pink?!!!!

That's worth a photo just for a laugh!

Sounds like the sort of place I enjoy snooping around though I don't relish the idea of disappearing down some shaft never to be found again! Is the place fenced off as a restricted area?

You are not really supposed to drive into the area.... but you can walk around it , no problem...

incidentally , before the Russians took it over , it was a huge German military base....

there are supposed to be miles of tunnels they made...that lie undiscovered yet....

Hi,

Interesting post you put here,
Is still the case?
I used to pass the border at Krakovets.
It has been some years since i went by car to Ukraine and plan this trip this summer, do you have any fresh update concerning insurance?

Thx
Johan
