In the mountainous region of North Bohemia, parallel to the course of the 1939 border between Germany and the Czech Republic, we find numerous bunkers, some of which are lined up like a string of pearls, reminiscent of a dark chapter in the history of the coexistence of the neighboring countries.
Today, the "Czechoslovakian Wall/Československé opevnění" offers bunker researchers a large pool of contemporary witnesses to a bygone history. In addition to a large number of reinforced concrete bunkers, we find the remains of former anti-tank barriers and trenches that were once intended to protect the hinterland from an invading aggressor.
Schöberlinie, a name that is still often used today, goes back to the German-speaking population who once lived in northern Bohemia. The names of a mountain towering prominently out of the landscape were taken up, the Stožec/Schöber and the Stožecké sedlo/Schöbersattel not far away. .
