Searching for the Golden Train - news
Today: in the third trench they find something
We have the latest information from the explorers. In the third trench, which is made close to the railway viaduct, found elements like the remains of rebar. This could indicate that poured reinforced concrete here, perhaps on the ceiling of the tunnel. The discovery is promising, but the work in the third trench progressing slowly. In a few places already encountered solid rock and had to move all the heavy equipment and try to dig further.
Golden Train
"Golden Train" is missing the armor of World War II, in which the Germans had allegedly hidden valuables looted, among others, gold and works of art. The train was to leave from Wroclaw in the direction of Wałbrzych, but never to Walbrzych not reached. It has been speculated that he was sent to a secret hideout in the area of the Owl Mountains. Many historians, however, question the existence of a "gold train", considering it rather circulating legend than historical fact.

What explorers can find?
Gold - possible. There are legends that for fear of the Red Army - Germans packed the gold banks from Wroclaw (Breslav) and valuables from the deposits of the population and deported in an unknown direction.
After the war, they were recovered many such treasures. But some could not be found like legendary Amber Chamber.
More likely, that the train if there is a weapon or contains valuable raw materials, documents or other items of historical value. We'll see!
