In the military station border troops were stationed until the end of the Cold War. The buildings are obviously empty, but not lapsed. Entering is prohibited. Information panels give information about the use of the facility until its closure, but also about the history of the village Deffernik, where there used to be a glassworks.

Former barracks of the Czechoslovak border guards.
Currently still in use in some capacity – not a lost place.
The building is monitored by video cameras.
