The bunkers are a historical monument to this time. This is where the German soldiers lived and patrolled. Hear about their time in the bunkers and about the Atlantic War that was never finished.

It is possible to get into some of the piles, so it is a good idea to bring a flashlight. Also remember to wear practical clothing and footwear, as the piles can be wet.

Haven't you had enough at the end of the guided tour?
