Since the Iron Curtain (Eiserner Vorhang) once stretched across the Kőszeg Mountains, several former border guard barracks can be found in the area today. Their role was to secure the border fence separating the east and west. A dark past...
The barracks next to Hétforrás - although now in a very dilapidated state - also reminds us of the past system.
The building is not locked, so you can take a closer look at it at your own risk.

Urbex paradise. Right next to the road to the Seven Springs. The garage and cellar also preserve the object of the defense line of the former Iron Curtain. An asphalt road leads to the area. It is also affected by the National BLUE Tour.
