    History to touch: the remains of the Soviet base and the proximity of a possible nuclear war make you think.

    A control point / information board and a small 1-man bunker are accessible.

      Very thoughtful place from the Cold War era.

        Fortunately, the past is over.

            Historically interesting, unfortunately an inglorious testimony to the past in the Königsbrücker Heide.

              Man oh man, nuclear missiles were stationed very close to us from 1984 onwards in the forest near Königsbrück and near Uhyst. It's just a good thing that Gorbachev was there at the time and, with prudence and understanding, made the first real disarmament of the Cold War possible just three years later. Without him, today's united Germany would certainly not exist.

                Two small "bunkers", one of which looks like a bungalow and the other an accommodation for dwarfs in the middle of the forest.

                  The bunker belonged to the Red Army's nuclear bunker guard on the Königsbrücker Heide.

                    It's hard to imagine what it was like here just over 30 years ago. But the legacies here and elsewhere in the Königsbrücker Heide give a little idea of the time back then.

                      Worth seeing legacy from days gone by.

                          History of Königsbrück which certainly belongs to it.
