Accessibility

We are committed to making the KL Plaszow Museum accessible to everyone, including visitors with special needs. However, the museum site is an historical space, and we are not free to adapt it to all needs.

Below you will find tips that may help you when visiting the KL Plaszow Memorial site. People with special needs can use our tourist guide service free of charge.

If you need additional information, or plan a tour for a large group of people with special needs, please contact us.

To reach the Memorial site area from public transport stops (at Kamieńskiego or Dworcowa Streets), you have to pass pedestrian crossings that are equipped with light signals, and then head towards an undeveloped green space.

The area of KL Plaszow Museum is a terrain with varying accessibility. The terrain is hilly and uneven, and access to certain locations may be difficult in adverse weather conditions. Trails arranged in the Memorial site vary in their accessibility. Arriving from Kamieńskiego Street, you can use a bitumen-paved road leading to the Nazi Victim Memorial and a cross, marking two mass execution places. The remaining paths have gravel surfaces or are grass-covered. but in times of precipitation (rain and snow falls), the area of the Memorial site becomes muddy.
