Tips

February 4, 2019

You do not really see much here anymore except this foundation in the picture. On the open space, on which one stands here, was - according to Luftbildern 1943 to 1945 - a Flakstellung with several large protective walls or Gechützständen, the entire area in an extension of approximately 100-200 meters. However, the current walls in the area seem to belong to the tillage of the Soviet practice period. Now in winter, the center of the concrete fragment is frozen and you can not see what's in the middle. Whether it belongs to the gun emplacements of the 1940s is not yet certain, it could also be a younger mast foundation. However, in the old positions on the core mountains are two flat reinforced concrete remains, which are provided inside with a relative hemispherical interior.
