There are many remnants of the Atlantic Wall on the Wadden Sea coast. Denmark's largest coastal battery was located here, and along with a number of smaller gun emplacements, it protected the strategic port of Esbjerg, a crucial location for the occupying forces. But the bunkers also served a number of other functions, such as radar stations, listening posts, and command centers. Several bunkers have been converted into exhibition spaces that today convey to visitors the history
of a time when war dominated the world.
Near Blåvand lies the large Tirpitz emplacement with two enormous gun bunkers.
Together with the battery at Hanstholm, it was intended to form the largest coastal battery in
Denmark. However, the complex was not yet complete at the end of the war.
The Tirpitz emplacement, like the emplacements on Fanø, protected the harbor entrance to Esbjerg, a strategic hub for the occupying forces.
The position's four large naval guns, with a range of 55 km, were intended to cover the area from Nymindegab to Fanø, but when Denmark was liberated, the gun barrels were still located in Guldager Station near Esbjerg. After the war, the bunkers were sealed off and used by the Danish armed forces for demolition tests. In 1991, the southern bunker was excavated and converted into a museum.

This bunker complex is a former radio measurement position as part of the Atlantic Wall in World War II. The facility is located in the area of the military training area, making an approach to maneuvering impossible.
