[en] The artillery fortress Stachelberg is a part of military fortification that was built in 1935 – 1938. Despite the fact that this bastion had not been completely finished, it has a range of “the best”. It was constructed as the biggest and the most modern artillery fortress from the whole Czechoslovak defences and at the same time it is one of the biggest fortifications of its kind in Europe. The unfinished borderline fortress was originally supposed to consist of twelve fort objects (bunkers), in the depth of 20-50 metres linked with passages and chambers in total length of 3,5km . Just before the mobilization, they managed, apart from the small bunkers, to finish only one big fortress on the surface.
If you visit the complex, you will be able to peep into underground secrets and familiarize with the Czechoslovak fortress museum.
