Hi I read your review about the POW/Stalag Luft musuem in Zagan. I'm planning to visit the area next month in order to conduct some research. A few years ago I wrote a book about the German Great Escape from Island Farm in south Wales. You mention a guide called Marik. Does he speak English and would you have a contact for him? Many thanks Peter

Peter Marik speaks very good English and is extremely knowledgeable on the the subject. If you type in Stalag Luft III Museum into your search engine, it will take you to the site Muzeum.Zagan.pl. There you can e mail the museum direct and book a tour. Marik will e mail you asking what time you are arriving and arrange the tour. Marik works at the Museum and is always there. There is no charge for the tour and is included in the admission price. I was there with 3 colleagues and all thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Hope that helps. Any problems just ask a further question. Regards Bruce
I plan to visit this year - my late father was a prisoner here for 3 years and helped with the escape - he was a forger. What is the best way to travel here from the UK? is it easiest to fly to Krakow and then drive?
A:
Fly to Berlin and hire a car only a few hours drive to Zagan
We will be arriving at about 1430 p.m. Is it possible to stay on the grounds (not the museum) of the Camp after 1600 ?

The location of the site of the camp appears to be open access at all times. The site is c. 500 metres on the right towards the town from the museum and initially is the entrance to the industrial estate. As I recall keep to the left along a track through the woods. You will see a replica guard tower on the right and this marks the location of the tunnel.
I know there is cost for the museum but would like to know if there is any cost for the camp itself and is there any public transportation from train station to the camp/ museum?
A:
The train station is close to the actual camp and where the actual tunnels were. It is a good mile + walk both ways from the station then there is the memorial behind the station to the …
The train station is close to the actual camp and where the actual tunnels were. It is a good mile + walk both ways from the station then there is the memorial behind the station to the executed 50 which again is 1/2 mile walk. not sure about taxi service as I was on my motorcycle and drove up the dirt track to the site
How do I get in touch with Marek? Is there a specific email? I need an English tour where I can shoot some video, he sounds like the guy to know. Thanks!
