As the former Iron Curtain (Eiserner Vorhang) stretched through the Kőszeg Mountains, today we can find several former border guard barracks in the mountains. These had the role of securing the border lock designed to separate East and West. Dark past ...
The barracks next to the Seven Springs is also reminiscent of the past system, although in a very dilapidated state.
The building is not closed, so you can take a closer look 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.
