Not as impressive as I had expected, but certainly worth a visit, if you have time while visiting the Wolf's Lair. Mauerwald/Mamerki is 18km north of the Wolf's Lair. There is a small map available in the Wolf's Lair hotel (as well as guide books to the Mauerwald site, although we did not see one in English) and the route is well marked (follow the signs to Mamerki/U-Boot). There are small museums there that include a reproduction German U-Boot, but these museums were not open when we visited. If the museums are not scheduled to be open, be sure you download a site map from the internet before you go, as there are no directions on-site.
The bunkers at Mauerwald were not destroyed in 1945 as was the Wolf's Lair, so you can see what the intact bunkers would have looked like (actually small on the inside). There are two bunker sites on either side of the road, but you can visit just one side of the road (the original "Quelle" site) to see the largest bunkers and representative types of the smaller bunkers. Bring a flashlight! There is a large dirt parking area on the right (east) side of the road, just up from the entrance to where the bunker museums are - this parking lot is marked with a large sign like at the entrance to the Wolf's Lair, for Mamerki / OKH Mauerwald. Just inside the woods from that lot starts the trail to the "Quelle" bunkers. The bunkers on the other side of the road ("Fritz") are really just more of the same, and not as impressive.
They really do need to trim the trees around the largest bunkers especially. I had been led to think from internet photos that these large bunkers were out in the open, but those photos are several years old (as are the photos that show a viewing platform on top of Bunker 6). Almost all of the bunkers are now surrounded by small trees, effectively obscuring most of their sides.
There are other associated sites around there to see, but you will have to have a good map or a guide. The unfinished locks on the Masurian Canal near Mauerwald are a breathtaking piece of Nazi concrete architecture, but not easy to find. You can also visit an old fortress at Gizycko that was used as part of the overall Wolf's Lair complex, as well as Heinrich Himmler's bunker complex at Hochwald.

We visited the Wolfschantz earlier the very same day and the guide recommended us to see nearby Mamerki. April is very early season for Mamerki and it is much easier to visit this place in summer. The admission tickets are 15 Polish Zloty but if you only want to see the large bunkers on the side of the street it is for free. The place is very interesting but a bit eclectic and need some loving tender care and slightly better organization. It probably works smoother " in season" which is after May 1 we were told. They do not take credit cards. There is a dirt parking lot.

It was more promising then it turn out to be. From historical point of view it is amazing place to see. From a way, how this attraction is offered to tourists, this is let`s say... less amazing. There is exhibition of WWII nazi secret weapon... but in fact there are only models presented... there is exhibition of submarine.... but in fact there is only model presented. You need to pay parking separatelly for different places of "city" Mamerki. Then you need to pay additional "fee" at "Sluza" to keep nature clean (?) and pay additonal money that you can cross bridge to get to "Sluza". "Sluza" is special building made with purpose to lift ships from one level to another. Amazing construction worth to see, even if you just walk around it and admire (and you do not cross payable bridge). They offer some kind of adrenaline park on "Sluza" but I do not find this appropriatte. To build such constructions was a slave work so should be appropriatelly respected - e.g. not with fun. In general it was worth to come there, just could be really better. In comparison with Wolf Lair it is much poorer.

However, the Amber Room is a pitiful fake made of plastic. It has nothing to do with the splendor of real Amber Room. The original amber room is lost, so I expected good replica made from amber stone, not a chap plastic fake. The picture on all the billboards, as well as the official Mamerki guide, shows good replica of Amber Room located in Tsarskoye Selo, Russia, which is made from real amber stone. If you want to visit Mamerki to see Amber Room, you will be very disappointed. I don't get why they show this, it is such a shame.
However, German bunkers from WWII are great. Museum dedicated to the Eastern front with miniatures of Stalingrad and Kursk battle is also excellent.

Mamerki bunker complex was built 20 ks from the Wolf’s Lair. This is a larger complex then Wolf’s Lair. All bunkers and buildings are intact and never got bombed. This place is loaded with Nazi artifacts and military equipment. There is also the Amber Room which looks like the real Amber Room but you will have to check the history of that on your own. I was appalled when I walked into bunker 28-30, the museum. It is loaded with rare Nazi artifacts and uniforms etc. and all are exposed to the dampness of the bunker. Uniforms had mold and artifacts had rust. I freaked out. I only hope before they are destroyed that they move everything indoors. Well worth the visit.

Ok, so yes its a bit commercial, you have to pay to park, pay to visit then pay to borrow a torch but these people have to make money somehow and it was less than £4 for three hours of great history and a more authentic feel than Wolfsschanze. You get a sense that these structures are massive, they are wet, dark and cold, real killing grounds in terms of design and there are three sets to see and explore so allow 2 to 3 hours for a good tour. Climb the tower and you get an amazing view of the surrounding area - no wonder these got lost in the woods for years.
One tip - take your own torch...

In Mamerki there is the Nazi Headquarters of the Supreme Command of the Land Forces, preserved in the form of historic ruins and remembering the times of World War II. It is best to get there from the Mamerki marina, at dawn, when there are no people yet, and wander around the bunkers.

Interestin spot. Easy access by road, good parking and helpful staff. Loads to see and as others said, take a torch to explore. A good couple of exhibitions, especially around the U Boat location.. go up the tower, its wobbly but great views...
The other bunkers are good for exploring. Intact structures and empty rooms. The Gigantic one can be climbed on the outside ladder.... but I didnt say that did I.....

I always wanted to visit wolf lair as I started to study the area I found out about Mamerki which is not as know however is a must if you are interested in WWII. The bunkers there are intact and you can have a much better understand of the greatness of those structures. Also there is a museum that you can learn more about the future plans for that area. Don’t miss the views from the top of platform so you can visualize the idea of connecting the area with the Baltic Sea.

Czy ktoś kto był i zwiedził miejsce dość dokładnie mógłby podpowiedzieć ile czasu przeznaczyć na Mamerki, żeby nie musieć się śpieszyć?

Myślę, że wszystko też zależy od tego, jak dużą grupą się tam wybieracie i czy jadą z Wami dzieci. Myślę, że średni czas, który należy sobie założyć to ok. 2h.
