The best footage from the walk
Modlin Fortress is situated in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki at the confluence of major rivers the Vistula and the Narew, 30 km north-west of Warsaw.
Its origins date back to 1806, when Napoleon gave the order to strengthen the bridgeheads on the Vistula.
According to legend, the French leader designed one of the first buildings himself.
It is a unique monument of defensive architecture, the largest of its kind in Poland.
Barracks located within the fortress, with a length of 2,250 m, are the longest building in Europe.
