Hiking

The reinforced concrete humps were removed at the instigation of the victors of the war. You can still see where they led: straight up the mountain.
Mute witnesses to history in the midst of a beautiful and peaceful landscape. Again and again you see parts of the bunker. Nature integrates them so slowly.

Hiking

In the Port valley, not far from the Seehofweiher, the remains of the foundations of the historic Höcker line can be seen, remnants of the western wall from 1939.

Hiking

Höckerlinie, also called dragon or Hitler teeth, is a colloquial term for humped or tooth-shaped tank barriers made of concrete, as they were used for example on the west wall. The Höckerlinie belongs next to the Czech yelk to the common tank locks.
