Geocache Description:

DAG- Krzystkowice

Factory DAG Alfred Nobel Krzystkowice- the remains of a German ammunition factory in the woods near Nowogród Bobrzański. They occupy approximately 35 km² of the area. Part of the area is inaccessible due to being taken over by a military unit and a penitentiary facility in nearby Krzywaniec.

The construction of the DAG Alfred Nobel complex began in 1939 in the forests west of the German city of Christianstadt (after the war it was the Polish Krzystkowice). The project was top secret from the very beginning - it was codenamed "Ruuester", meaning "Elm". The exact purpose of the plants has never been determined - all due to the lack of source documents that traveled into the Reich during their escape from the approaching Soviet army in 1945.

However, there is no doubt that explosives were produced in DAG Krzystkowice, which could be used for further production or only for filling the ammunition created in other plants. The plant operated during World War II, i.e. for no more than 6 years. However, it is uncertain when exactly it was launched.

Some of the devices were dismantled and evacuated shortly before the offensive of the Soviet army, the rest were dismantled and transported by the Russians after the war. To this day, there are concrete structures, ruins of production halls, huge silos covered with a several-meter layer of earth, on which trees have already grown. There are visible remains of infrastructure in the form of a network of roads and railroads and shelters (used in the event of air raids and explosions as a result of accidents at work). The area, currently unguarded, is a local tourist attraction.
