The underground barracks and museum area are fully wheelchair accessible.
The part of the underground galleries visited with these tours is possible, but there are slopes, so helper support is required.

The underground barracks and museum are heated. In the corridor system and bunkers, there is a constant temperature of 11°C. Warm clothing is strongly recommended. We also recommend closed footwear.
