Tips
A little hidden in the forest are the cannon batteries G3 and G4, which should hold the reserve cannons of the battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz. Of four planned positions, two were almost completed. The builders left in 1941. Almost everything was done. Accommodation for almost 80 men. The cannons could have shot about 40 km and were intended to control the Baltic Sea. You need a safe step, stumbling hazards are easy to miss at dusk and the large bunkers are not only cleared, so nothing to see, they are dangerous inside. Without strong light, shafts that you can plunge into are quickly overlooked. Lost Places, worth seeing.
