Green Velo

This is one of the best preserved and most worthy facility of the Przemyśl Fortress of a visit. The fortification was built between 1882 and 1886 in the outer ring of fortifications in the form of an artillery fort. During World War I, the fort was under fire and substantially destroyed. After the capitulation, it was blown up, and after 1945, it was partly demolished.

Tourists are welcomed by the brick entrance gate, to which the fortress road leads. The interior is dimly lit; therefore, you need to explore it very carefully. The casemates, firing ports and utility rooms are well preserved. The fort itself is not utilised, and in many places, it blends harmoniously with nature. The facility is used for playing paintball and for climbing training. The fort lies on the border with Ukraine, but is fully accessible. This is an unusual place for militaria enthusiasts and seekers of historical memories.
