The Nazi Gold Train — Myth, Mystery, and the Search Beneath the Owl Mountains
In the final months of World War II, a legend emerged from Lower Silesia: an armored Nazi train allegedly loaded with gold, jewels, weapons, and stolen artwork disappeared somewhere near the Owl Mountains in Poland.
According to the story, the train left Breslau, today known as Wrocław, and headed toward the area around Książ Castle, where the Nazis had constructed the vast underground tunnel network known as Project Riese.
Decades later, the mystery exploded again when treasure hunters claimed radar scans had detected what looked like a buried armored train near Wałbrzych. Excavations, drilling, military experts, and geophysical surveys followed — but no train and no gold were ever found.
So was the legendary Gold Train ever real, or was it one of Europe’s most enduring wartime myths?
This video explores the known history, the legend, the searches, and the unanswered questions surrounding the mysterious Nazi Gold Train.
