    The plant here was probably originally a lighthouse, which was operated after the electrification of a local power plant (hence the name photo-electrical items, the elevators were used to supply fuel). These facilities were also armed and the destroyed areas further up were last used in World War II.

    The more interesting areas, the steps and ramps are only poorly secured. After the flat places you are in front of a steep brick ramp, here was previously an inclined lift installed. Today there is a narrow staircase left over which you can descend to the upper part of an underground vertical elevator. There is also a platform with a comprehensive view.
