Legs and Borders

visited with: r2s The way to this complex is really pleasant as you have to enter the National Park's territory and simply follow the trail... well until the trail is over  Then you have to find your own way through the forest, you can try asking someone but believe me, there's not many people to ask.. we got lucky met two helpful tourists on the way, and that was enough. history and info: Nuclear Command Centre [Atomowa Kwatera Dowodzenia] is an abandoned military unit, located in National Park (Kampinoski Park Narodowy) near Warsaw.

That was on the cards for a long time and since Vadim decided to drive (23 hours with little breaks for photos) i was more than happy to keep his company.
