Wanderer's shelter - a heavy infantry shelter, serving as a command shelter and shelter for the infantry team. This ridge was built in the valley of the Żabnica River over one of its two branches. The area around it was completely flat, so the only obstacle could be a small river or built obstacles. From the side of the foreground, the shelter was shielded by a mantle and was to be defended from the armored cupola ckm (not mounted). The crew of the shelter was 1 officer, 3 non-commissioned officers and 15 private officers (source: beskidtrek.eu)

Popularly called the Westerplatte of the South. There are several other structures of this type in the area, and if you want to learn the history of the defense of 1939, it is worth taking a closer look at all of them.
